The Fiocchi 16GT8 Field Dynamics ammunition delivers consistent performance for dove and quail hunting with precision-engineered #8 shot patterns. This 16-gauge load combines reliable ignition with balanced velocity for effective small game harvesting at typical field distances.
What Makes This Different
Fiocchi's Field Dynamics line utilizes progressive burning powders that maintain consistent chamber pressures across temperature variations. The 1oz shot charge provides denser patterns than lighter loads while generating manageable recoil in 16-gauge platforms. Quality control standards ensure uniform shot distribution and reliable primer ignition compared to budget alternatives.
