    Sucks that Academy discontinued carrying them and all Rio loads. I am going to have to find another place to get them or go back to Remington ShurShots after a 5 year hiatus.. Lucky to have seen them clearance them off and buy 7 cases before they stopped. $6.49/box and bought them for $5.30


    Gibson's in W'ford has them

      Me too. When Winchester changed the AA hull I stopped reloading them to specs so I use the Rio's now. Great dove load.

            Weatherford and Kerrville are the only 2 remaining locations I know of. I haven't been in the Weatherford store in a long time. The one in Kerrville is awesome.

                1 1/8 oz. #8s in 12ga. I do better with them than #7.5s, got some 7.5s that I'm trying to use up and then go to all #8s.
                Prefer Federal or the Rem. Heavy Dove brands... would love to try the Herters brand some day.

                    I shoot a low recoil 1oz target load at 1180-1200fps in 12ga...Fiochi on hand but Federal / Rio / Estate make a good one as well. I do have some 7/8oz trainer loads that are fun to shoot.

                    I save the 1 1/8's for quail...the low recoiling targets pattern better & are joy to shoot in full size over/under. I need the recoil for the benelli's.

                          Been using these for the last several years. No issues so I’ll keep going with them this year. Found a good deal a few years ago and got two cases.

                            I always use the Remington heavy dove loads in 7.5. I used to always buy #8 but switched over to 7.5 so i can used them for both dove and quail.
