RE: Hevi-Shot...really that amazing???
From my 11-87 turkey gun I am getting anywhere from about 150-180 pellets in a circle that's close to 10 inches at 40 yds.. hs strut turkey targets I'm getting about 40 or so pellets in the kill zone.. This is with Hevi Shot 2-1/4oz #6's.. 3-1/2inch chamber.. Using the Primos Jelly Head .665.......
Now the #5 and #6 in the 1-3/4oz load shot really well too from Hevi Shot but the 2-1/4oz sneaked past it so that's what I went with.. Dead turkey with any of it though...
IN comparison with a standard Winchester lead ammo #5's I was getting about 60 pellets at 40 yds and about 10 in kill zone, same setup...
It's worth the $$$in IMO...
