1.25 ounces of 9s used to be a good long range dove load out of a Citori skeet gun. It was a veritable cloud of shot.

Thanks for the link Dr.Drew.
I bet the Super X 1.5oz load in 2 3/4 shell would knock out a few fillings.
Probably the 3 3/4dr eq. on the Peters would wake you up too.

What fun, I used these for dove hunting this year.   I really enjoy using old guns and old ammo in the field Mike

1.25 ounces of 9s used to be a good long range dove load out of a Citori skeet gun. It was a veritable cloud of shot. Using the term "9s" in the same sentence with "long range" seems contradictory to me. When I think of long range dove loads I think 7 1/2s, not 9s. I consider 9s a close range size, 20 yards or less, not long range. I use them for skeet loads, nothing else. They're okay for opening day doves, when over half are juveniles, and close, but I don't even use 9s then. My opinion only, based on a 56 year career of shooting them. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

The mallard was just the Peters logo. The child warnings on the labels and plastic hulls puts them no older than 1960. If there are no zip codes in the addresses, you can narrow it to about '60-'64. I believe the Nimrods are Canadian, probably CIL Industries.

My long range dove load is 1 oz of sixes and a full choke. Used to work better than it does now. Something must have changed.

Mike,
You are correct, the Nimrods are a CIL produce. I used many of them when I was starting my shotgun career in the late 60's.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
