LOAD OF THE WEEK- 05/29/2009 ULTRA DOVE

The NEW Helarco VP wads offer many surprises.   While dreaming of a new and better DOVE load the VP05 12-gauge Helarco wad offered something MORE!   The load(s) remind us of “recoil like a butterfly and sting like a bee.”  “C” wanted SPEED and a light touch from the 12-gauge.   He got it.  The lab pressed TITEWAD powder into a series high-speed into rocket velocity loads.  Dream loads for Dove shooting.   These loads are the ULTRA-DOVE series.
