For the past 5 years I've shot a 20 g. Montefeltro Bennelli on doves and teal, even opening day of big duck season. I do find that the 1 oz. loads for doves are far superior to the 7/8 oz for doves in 20. If you look at the field loads for 12g. the load is 1oz for the cheap shells you find at big box stores! Same as shooting a 20 g. same velocity as the 12 g load. Everyone in our group of dove hunters use 20s, shooting RIO field loads of 1oz, 8s.
