I tried some Federal dove shells many years ago and they cut my kill rate in half. They are just plain poor quality. I like Rio's for doves, Winchester for Turkey loads.
Rio's require frequent gun cleaning they are some nasty shells but boy they hit hard and I have never had one fail. I need to find some, thats what I went to the truck to fill my vest with last Saturday. The big swampers didnt like them in #6's
