FED TX DOVE 12GA 2.75″ 1 1/8OZ #7.5

Description

Texas Dove loads are built around a straightforward premise: dove hunting in open country means high shot volumes, fast crossing birds, and unpredictable angles. Federal designed this load specifically for that kind of hunting, where consistency from round to round matters more than any single spectacular performance. The 1 1/8 oz payload of No. 7.5 lead shot strikes a practical balance — enough pellets in the pattern to handle erratic fliers without the added recoil and cost that come with heavier offerings. At 1,300 fps, the velocity is brisk enough to maintain useful pattern density at typical dove-hunting ranges without pushing recoil to a point that fatigues a shooter through a long morning in the field.

Federal uses its own hull and primer throughout, which matters for ignition uniformity. Inconsistent ignition is a common source of shot-to-shot velocity spread, and keeping those components in-house gives Federal tighter control over the variables that affect where pellets land relative to point of aim. The lead shot density — 11.35 g/cc — is appropriate for a standard upland load, offering predictable deformation on impact with birds at realistic distances. This is a 25-round box, which suits the hunt-all-day, shoot-a-lot nature of Texas dove season. The Texas-themed packaging is a practical touch for a product clearly aimed at the hunters who make that state the dominant force in American dove harvest each year.
