Caleb, no offense taken at all. Different strokes (and chokes) for different folks. I consider 1 1/8 oz. heavy for doves. I'm well aware that I am in the minority, even around here where there is lots of dove shooting season long. I'm not a great shot on doves, far from it, but I do have the advantage of shooting private land (mine and friend's) and do lots of scouting in order to position guns in the most advantageous places.
As to the Comp Ones, I have heard at least one range owner say that he has noticed more misfires reported with Comp Ones than other brands. I believe, for some reason I have yet to fully determine, that they require greater firing pin protrusion from the breech face than most others. I have measured the case heads on them, compared to the other brands I regularly shoot, and there is a difference in the shape of the rim it seems. I believe they seat a tiny bit further into the chamber on some guns than my other brands. FWIW, they work fine in my MX 8, but I don't care to use them in it, as I can use more inexpensive loads in it well.
All my best, SRH
