The Apex Element Dove Stratified 12 Gauge 2 3/4" 1 1/4 oz #7/#8 Shot Magnum Lead load is built around Apex’s patented stratified dual-layer shot technology, giving dove hunters a versatile shell that patterns consistently from the first stand to the last. Each round stacks #8 shot over #7 shot in a 2.75" hull, sending a 1 1/4 oz payload of L3 high-antimony magnum lead downrange at a hard-hitting 1350 fps.

This design lets the #8 layer open into a dense, forgiving pattern for close and mid-range birds, while the underlying #7 pellets carry more weight and energy for birds that drift farther out. With 25 rounds per box and smooth function in both pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, this Element Dove Stratified load is a practical choice for hunters who want one shell that covers a wide range of field conditions, backed by Apex’s reputation for carefully crafted, high-performance ammunition.
