Best ammo for Doves

If you're going to use the cheaper shells try a tighter choke. One reason they are cheaper is softer shot. It deforms more and spreads more. In my guns when I've patterned it there's about a full chokes worth of difference. The higher quality shells pattern tighter.
 
IMO it usually gets down to how good a shot you are over anything else but I've seen good shots have bad days on doves. If you're on that day any standard dove load will drop the birds. If you're not, what you're shooting dosen't make much difference and neither will your confidence, it will be gone pretty quick.
