Doves no, turkeys yes. I shoot mine maybe 3-4 times a year. Painful to shoot is an understatement. Of course I am putting close to 2 1/2oz of #5 lead and 100gr of BH209. Totally devastating on turkeys and my shoulder
I have a Beretta anniversary model O/U that has taken alot of grouse and ducks. Going to try ITX shot in it next season. Also have a cape gun to match the one abve but use it with .690 RB for big game.
