Are you mandated to use steel shot for doves? I certainly wouldn't if I didn't have to. In my 20 ga. guns I have used 1 oz. handloads of no. 7-1/2 target grade lead shot effectively for years. You'll always get the occasional "big puff of feathers and bird still flying" but I'll be willing to bet it will be a lot less often with lead shot. If you have to use steel, would it help to move up to no. 6?
