Fiocchi Field Dynamics Dove & Quail 12 Gauge FAQ:
Yes, this load is appropriate for beginners. The moderate recoil and good pattern density make it easier for new shooters to hit their targets while still providing effective performance.
The effective range of this ammunition is typically up to 35-40 yards for small upland game. Beyond this range, the pattern may become too sparse for reliable kills on small birds.
In most cases, yes. This ammunition uses standard pressure, making it safe for use in most modern shotguns, including older models. However, always consult your firearm's manual to ensure compatibility.
While it could be used in an emergency, this ammunition is not designed for home defense. For home defense purposes, larger shot sizes or specialty defensive loads would be more appropriate.
Yes, the hulls from this ammunition can be reloaded. However, always follow proper reloading procedures and consult reliable reloading data to ensure safe and effective results.
The recoil from this 1 oz load is generally less than heavier 1 1/8 oz or 1 1/4 oz field loads. This makes it more comfortable to shoot, especially during long hunting sessions or for recoil-sensitive shooters.
Yes, this ammunition should function reliably in most semi-automatic shotguns. The 1250 fps velocity typically provides sufficient energy to cycle the action in gas-operated or inertia-driven semi-autos.
This ammunition produces a moderate amount of smoke, typical for standard field loads. While not a low-smoke or reduced-residue load, it shouldn't significantly impair vision during normal hunting scenarios.
Yes, this ammunition is suitable for sporting clays competitions. Its performance characteristics align well with the demands of sporting clays, providing good breaking power on targets.
Yes, this ammunition is safe to use with all standard chokes. The shot size and velocity are compatible with everything from cylinder to full chokes, allowing you to adjust your pattern for different hunting scenarios.
