What ammunition are you referring to? Are you referring to target loads? And #8 is not a great choice for hunting most upland birds, especially at longer ranges. At closer ranges they work okay, if you can place the pattern over the head/neck area.

What dram equivalent were you purchasing? The 24g load is pretty anemic because they intended it to be. The 3dr Handicap is a hammer.
Exactly, the milder target loads produce less velocity in order to reduce recoil, so I wouldn't expect them to be as effective as a hunting load as a higher velocity load.
