Shotgun shell question

UPS just propped of a case of 28ga shells. 1oz high brass number 8 shot. I ordered them for doves and what not. Now my question is: Since these were made in Italy will the birds I shoot with these taste better then those shot with regular American shells? Italian cuisine is to my liking.

First things first....you have to actually be able to hit one to find out !!! 😉😲
That's why I buy shells by the case.
Yes sir, I can relate to that !!
I was on a dove hunt once.
I felt pretty good with myself for getting my limit using less than a box of shells using my Super 90 Benelli 12.
That is until the guy walked up with his limit using only 16 shells with a .410 Perrazzi.
Those Italian shells are laced with oregano and other seasonings to give your bird that special flavor! 😁
You best shoot them all quickly though as the shelf life is limited and the taste diminishes if they sit on the shelf for too long.
I took my 28 skeet gun on a dove hunt once down around the Salton Sea.. Ran out of shells before I got my limit the first day & then discovered none of the stores for miles around had any 28s.
Opening day of dove season gets me every time, I always go through two boxes of shells to get my limit,
I have a few cases of those Italian .410 shells in 8's. Those Mexican Collard Doves wrapped in Canadian Bacon give it an international favor.
Yes, they will taste better. In fact, they should be cooked by a internationally known chef from Montana on a multi million dollar yacht in the Mediterranean Sea.
Well see now, that's what I was thinking.
You will need to marinate those shells in maranera sauce for that. A good white wine sauce if shooting sea food.
