[ HUNTING AMMO // 12 GA ]

What we recommend for Quail with a 12 ga shotgun, and a link to shop matching ammo at JJ Armory.

[ 12 GA // QUAIL ]

RECOMMENDED SHOT

Lead #7½ or #8, 2¾"

STEEL, LEAD, OR OTHER NON-TOXIC

Lead, or bismuth #7½ / steel #7 if non-toxic is required

WHY

Same small-shot, open-choke idea as dove and woodcock. Dove-and-quail field loads are almost always #7½ or #8.

Skeet or IC.

We do not have a dedicated 12 gauge dove, quail, or grouse hunting box on the shelf right now. These are the 12 gauge #7.5 and #8 lead shells we have in stock — they are target loads that use the same shot size. Call (631) 985-5527 if you want a hunting-specific field load.
