Apex Ammunition has introduced dove loads in its Stratified™ line of hard-hitting, superior patterning shotshells.
Featuring layered shot sizes of either L3 high-antimony lead or S3 steel pellets, the Dove Stratified series is designed to deliver optimal performance at variable ranges – with dense close- and mid-range patterns and increased terminal energy at longer distance – to bring down those speedy highfliers.
“Our move into lead and steel dove loads is the result of tremendous demand from retailers and our customers in the upland community who want Apex’s consistent quality and performance in loads for smaller, more fragile game birds like dove and quail,” said Jason Lonsberry, President and CEO, Apex Ammunition. “We are excited to now offer affordable, high-quality lead and non-toxic steel options for these hunts.”
Features of Apex Dove Stratified:
- Layered Shot Payload – Optimized for both close birds and long-range fliers
- Deadly Pattern Density – Increased pellet count on target
- Customer-Driven Innovation – Built on real-world feedback from the field
- Assembled in the USA – Premium components, loaded for peak performance
