Best ammo for Doves

I hunted doves ten straight days to open the season. Nine limits and one field that had few birds. Used up a flat of ten boxes of $3.99 (bought three years ago) AA Sporting loads (1300 fps) 7 1/2's and some Wal-Mart promo 100-round box Federal loads in 7 1/2's. Shot them out of a Browning Gold Fusion that has had the forcing cone lengthened and the bore polished. I couldn't tell the difference in performance (kill ratio) between the two loads. Used Tru-Lock extended improved cylinder choke some days and a Wright's #4 (Light Modified) other days. I will be using the Federal 100-round packs in the future in # 7 1/2 size shot. Cheapest way to go. Chokes were more than adequate for the job at hand.
