Interesting how nobody said 8s but when you go to Acadmy or Dicks 90 % of the dove loads for sale are 8s.
So hard to find 6s Until late sept and Oct #8 is all I want to shoot. Where I hunt the birds are close and plentiful. I got all my sons and buddies on 8's also. And all of them shooting Remington heavy dove loads. I'm a #8 fan too. I only have mourning doves in my area and would shoot 7.5 if white wings were around.

Any shotgun shell will kill a dove.

Do you prefer a tighter or more open choke using #6s?
