The Winchester MD2079 Magnum Dove delivers enhanced downrange power for extended shooting distances on dove and small game. This 20-gauge load combines dual shot sizes with magnum velocity to maximize pattern density and knockdown performance. Field hunters gain significant advantages over standard dove loads through increased range capability and consistent pellet energy.
What Makes This Different
The MD2079 features a unique dual-shot configuration mixing #7.5 and #9 pellets within the same shell. This combination provides the range advantage of larger #7.5 shot while maintaining the pattern density benefits of smaller #9 pellets. Standard dove loads typically use single shot sizes, limiting either range or pattern effectiveness. The magnum powder charge pushes this 1-ounce payload to velocities exceeding standard field loads by approximately 100-150 fps.Key Features
