Fiocchi dove loads for the 2026 season include a mix of new and established shotshell offerings aimed at hunters facing everything from close decoying birds to longer passing shots. The lineup highlighted for this fall includes the new Golden Dove Duplex, Texas White Wing, and Field Dynamics Dove Loads.
Golden Dove Duplex: Two Shot Sizes. One Versatile Dove Load
New for 2026, Golden Dove Duplex brings Fiocchi’s duplex payload technology to the dove field, combining two complementary shot sizes in a single shell. Loaded with a 1-⅕ ounce payload of #6 and #8 shot at 1,275 fps, Golden Dove Duplex is designed to provide a combination of pattern density and downrange energy. The smaller #8 shot contributes pellet count and pattern density for fast, close-to-moderate shots, while the larger #6 pellets help retain energy when birds stretch the distance.
The result is a versatile 12-gauge dove load designed for the changing opportunities hunters encounter throughout the day in the field – from birds dropping into decoys to fast crossers and longer passing shots. For hunters who don’t know exactly what the next flight will bring, Golden Dove Duplex provides the answer.

Texas White Wing: Built for Big Dove Days
When the birds are flying and shooting is fast, ammunition needs to be plentiful, dependable, and easy to bring along. Texas White Wing was built with exactly those days in mind. The 12-gauge load combines 1-⅛ ounce of #7.5 lead shot at 1,250 fps with convenient 100-round packaging, giving hunters plenty of ammunition for those memorable days when the action rarely slows down.
Whether hunting white-winged doves in Texas, mourning doves over a cut grain field, or gathering with friends and family for an opening-day tradition, Texas White Wing delivers a straightforward combination of performance, volume, and convenience. Grab the shotgun. Grab the 100-pack. Head to the field.

Field Dynamics: Proven Performance for Every Dove Hunter
Dove hunters don’t all carry the same shotgun – and Fiocchi’s Field Dynamics Dove Loads make sure they don’t have to. The Field Dynamics family offers traditional lead dove loads across 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauge, as well as .410 bore, giving hunters choices for everything from classic 12-gauge autoloaders to lightweight sub-gauge guns.
Among the lineup, the popular 12-gauge Dove Load sends a 1-ounce payload of #7.5 or #8 lead shot at 1,250 fps, delivering the predictable patterns and manageable recoil hunters want during high-volume shooting. For the growing number of hunters carrying smaller-gauge shotguns, the 20-gauge offering delivers 7/8 ounce of #7.5 or #8 shot at 1,210 fps.
Field Dynamics provides hunters with alternatives to traditional lead ammunition, such as steel dove loads suitable for areas with regulations or specific hunting conditions requiring non-lead options. Fiocchi offers a range from 12 gauge to .410, making it simple to select the right load for both the shotgun and the hunt.

One Brand. A Field Full of Options
Dove hunting can be remarkably simple: a shotgun, a box of shells, a few friends and a place where the birds want to be. But those simple ingredients have created generations of opening-day memories. For 150 years, Fiocchi has built ammunition around moments exactly like these.
With a variety of gauges, shot sizes, payloads, and performance options available, selecting the appropriate load can help hunters get the most out of their time in the field. Fiocchi’s Dove load blog breaks down what dove hunters should consider when choosing ammunition, including shot size, velocity, choke selection, and patterning.
Before heading to the field this season, pattern your shotgun, check local regulations, bring plenty of shells – and make the first hunt of fall one to remember!
