FIOCCHI D&Q 12GA 2.75″ #7.5 25/250

Description

Fiocchi’s Field Dynamics Dove & Quail load is built for upland hunters who spend long days in the field after doves, quail, and similar small game. It is a straightforward working shell, not a specialty round, and that is exactly the point — consistent performance over a high round count without punishing the shooter’s shoulder or the wallet.

The one-ounce payload of chilled lead #7.5 shot strikes a practical balance for small, fast-moving birds: enough pellets in the pattern to increase the odds of a hit at typical flushing and passing distances, while the smaller shot size keeps energy transfer appropriate for light-bodied game rather than burning it through coarser pellets better suited to larger quarry. Chilled lead shot is harder than pure lead, which helps pellets hold their shape through the wad and choke, supporting pattern integrity at the target rather than arriving deformed and scattered.

At 1,250 fps, this load sits in a moderate velocity range that keeps felt recoil manageable over a full day of shooting — relevant when you are running a semi-automatic on a dove field and cycling through boxes quickly. The clean-burning powder Fiocchi specifies for this line also reduces fouling buildup between cleanings, which matters on long hunt days when stopping to scrub a chamber is not practical.

The shell is packaged 25 rounds to the box and sold here in a 250-round case, making it a sensible bulk purchase for the season. It is loaded to standard 2-3/4-inch chamber dimensions, compatible with the overwhelming majority of 12-gauge field guns.
