This refers to ammunition manufactured by Federal Premium Ammunition, specifically their “Dove & Target” line, packaged in quantities of 100 rounds. This type of ammunition is typically a low-recoil, light-load shotshell designed for recreational shooting activities such as clay target sports (trap, skeet, sporting clays) and hunting small game birds like doves. It often utilizes smaller shot sizes, like #7.5 or #8, optimized for these purposes.
The availability of affordable, reliable target loads like these is crucial for the continued enjoyment and accessibility of shooting sports. These rounds allow for high-volume practice at a reasonable cost, helping shooters develop their skills. Historically, the development of specialized ammunition, like target loads, has contributed to the growth and specialization of different shooting disciplines. The emphasis on manageable recoil makes them suitable for a wider range of shooters, including younger or recoil-sensitive individuals. This promotes inclusivity and encourages participation in these sports.
