Winchester Fast Dove & Clay is a 12 gauge lead birdshot load in a 2 3/4-inch high-brass shell. Each shell throws an ounce of No. 7 1/2 shot at a listed 1350 feet per second, and the box holds 25. It is one load meant to do two jobs, dove in the field and clays at the range, so the same shells cover practice and the hunt.

For a South Carolina shooter the practical point is that the shell you break clays with is the one you shoot doves with, so the gun patterns and swings the same on both. The 2 3/4-inch length runs in any 12 gauge chambered for that shell, and the listed velocity gives a little extra on crossing birds. A box of 25 is enough for a dove stand or a round at the range, and a few boxes cover both.
