High Brass vs. Low Brass (Spinoff from Dove Hunt Thread)
Posted on 9/5/14 at 12:52 pm

I noticed a lot of comments about high/low brass in the Dove Hunting thread. My dad was a FIRM believer in using high brass shells when birdhunting. What's the real difference? Is one better than the other? Why?

I use the cheapest target loads on the shelf because why spend any more for doves?

Totally unrelated
But I had a dream last night I was dove hunting about 2 hours before the noon official time of the season here in AL and had green jeans on me in less than 10 minutes

I've shot both and I really don't notice much of a difference. Just wondering if there was some explanation why one is better other than personal preference.

If you shoot high brass you have one less excuse for killing one bird to every ten shots.....

You sound like me. I shot 150 times and killed 20. Was only able to recover 15 though.
I used the low brass. Did not have a misfire or jam the entire time.

I use the absolute cheapest 2-3/4 #7.5 or #8 I can find
If that don't work then the problem is you, not the shell

Low brass 8 shot is the answer on Dove

i would use cheap target loads for doves because they're such a small/light bird and i would imagine that high brass would just mutilate the entire thing. just my two cents.
