EAST ALTON, IL — Winchester Ammunition launches Magnum Dove™, a high-performance shotshell engineered specifically for dove hunting. Made in the U.S.A., Magnum Dove features heavy payloads, high velocity, and dense patterns that set a new standard for dove hunters that want the best ammunition in the field.
Available in 12- and 20-gauge, Magnum Dove™ shotshells contain a custom blend of #7 ½ and #9 lead shot. The premium, batch-blended shot is optimized for pattern density on doves.
“Dove season is a time-honored tradition for many hunters across the country,” said Kyle Masinelli, Senior Director of Product Innovation and Strategy for Winchester. “With Magnum Dove, we give wingshooters more confidence behind the gun and a competitive edge to fill limits.”
Key features of Magnum Dove™:

• Premium, batch-blended lead shot – Clean and precisely sized shot provide consistent and dense patterns that doves can’t slip through
• High Brass Magnum – High velocity blended payload with #7 ½ and #9 shot ensures high pellet counts for improved hit probability
