But we're talking about Hevishot, not lead. A Hevishot pellet has roughly the same amount of energy at any given distance as a lead pellet 2 sizes bigger. In other words, a #7 Hevishot pellet has the same amount of energy as a #5 lead pellet. That's one of the biggest pro's of Hevishot. You can get away with shooting a smaller pellet and still haveenough downrange energy to kill.
Yep.
How about that second picture/link you posted up Simp....
I'm telling you, when it comes to nasty turkey guns you cannot stop the 10 gauge. Its like a deaf mute in the Miss America contest.... unbeatable. Thats why so many of us shoot 835s with those over bored 10 gauge barrels...
I've been on the range with a few guys I know that shoot 10 gauges, and one of them really stands out. That gun, I am confident, would put over 100 hits in a 10" at 65 yards, perhaps even 70. He has told me of what the gun can do, and says he has killed birds out to 70 with it. He's not really the kinda guy who needs to exaggerate. He uses a Rhino and Nitro's himself. Nasty nasty combination.
