Ozark, Missouri – August 13, 2026 — Fiocchi of America proudly announces the launch of Golden Dove Duplex, a purpose-built shotshell engineered to deliver exceptional pattern density and hard-hitting downrange performance in a single load.
Designed for dove hunters who refuse to compromise, Golden Dove Duplex features a carefully engineered duplex payload combining #8 and #6 lead shot. The smaller #8 shot creates dense, forgiving patterns on close, fast-moving birds, while the larger #6 shot retains the energy needed for clean, ethical harvests at extended distances. The result is a versatile load capable of handling everything from early-season opportunities to challenging late-season shots.
Loaded with an optimized 1-1/5-ounce payload traveling at 1,275 feet per second, Golden Dove Duplex delivers outstanding lethality while maintaining manageable recoil for faster follow-up shots when birds are flying in volume. The carefully balanced combination of payload weight, velocity, and duplex shot sizes gives hunters the confidence to perform across a wide range of hunting scenarios.
“Golden Dove Duplex was developed for hunters who wanted one load that could do it all,” said Christian Hogg, Director of Marketing at Fiocchi of America. “By combining two complementary shot sizes into a single shell, we’ve created a load that offers dense patterns for close shots while maintaining the energy needed for birds that are working higher or farther out. It’s a versatile solution that gives hunters greater confidence every time they shoulder the gun.”
Whether you’re hunting over sunflower fields, cut grain, or traditional dove flyways, Golden Dove Duplex is built to deliver the consistent patterns, dependable performance, and terminal effectiveness serious dove hunters demand.
