Default RE: Ok, so what Hevishot now?

KD, This is what it all means,

Hevi 13 has taken over most of the heavy shot world. At the start for turkey shells they contracted their shot out to Remington. When the contract came due they started their own shells and some of the first where the (White) shells. These were some of the best patterning shells out there and the reason was the wads seem to be the ticket.

Over the years they change the wads and the pattern seem to change too.
The white shells are very hard to find as they are almost gone and if you find some they are a gold mine.

I have found the Bronze color that is out there now is close to the same pattern as the white shells, in my opinion. Over the years they changed their shell colors, I guess to keep track of how they made them, or themeasurementof the loads were different.

The 20 gauge was the same and a lot have found that the old shells seemed to be good, but I know the new loads are close because I have tested them all and still own them all.

Hope that helps
