For those of us who thought that one load shot the same as the other, this page should help clear that up.  I've always just grabbed the cheapest and went hunting.  Well after doing a little research I found something called Dram Equiv. and FPS (feet per second).  Most of the below are for dove, quail, ducks and geese in 10 & 12 gauge.  Click here for a to see a chart of sizes and number of shot per size.  A page explaining the difference between steel and lead (from Remington).  Click here for a chart showing the range of chokes.

My dove load.

Some new ammo I picked up at the gun store the other day.  Called Rottweil and its 12 gauge 3-3/4 dr. eq. and 1-1/4 ounce of 7.5 being pushed at 1330 FPS.  If anyone know anything about this brand drop me a line, at about $4 a box it seems pretty good deal.  Thanks

I've gotten a few e-mail concerning purchasing ammo for me.  Just to clear some things up, I am a college student who runs this page for fun and to help people out.  I enjoy ballistics which leads me to running this page.  I'm sorry if I confused you, I do not have any contacts with the companies listed or any dealers.  Again sorry for the confusion.
