The B&P Heavy Dove & Quail 28 gauge load delivers 15/16 oz of #6 lead shot at 1300 fps — a 28 gauge dove load engineered for upland birds at realistic field ranges. B&P chambers this round in a 2-3/4″ hull, running a Boxer primer and non-buffered lead shot through smooth bore barrels. For dove, quail, and small upland game, the #6 pellet diameter holds velocity through brush and delivers clean kills inside 30 yards without the shoulder punishment of 12 or 20 gauge equivalents.

The 1300 fps muzzle velocity keeps #6 pellets lethal through typical dove and quail engagement distances without over-penetrating small birds. Non-buffered construction keeps costs down while Boxer primers enable hull reuse for handloaders extending shell life. Browse our full 28 Gauge ammo inventory for additional upland and target loads.

- Follow the four rules of firearm safety at all times — treat every firearm as loaded, never point at anything you don’t intend to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and know your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify your state and local laws before ordering — some jurisdictions restrict lead shot near waterways or require non-toxic alternatives for upland game on public land.
- This product contains lead, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm (Prop 65). Wash hands after handling ammunition and avoid exposure to lead dust during reloading.
