Yea I thought the same thing until I did some patterning test with hevi shot...

I shot the old stuff 1090fps and the new Mag blend...

My Win HV #5's out penitrated both the Mag blend shells and the old Hevi13 #6's at 1090fps at 40 yards...

My Win HV #4's blew them COMPLETLY out of the water...

I read a lot about how the hevi shot is equal to 2 size's up on lead... I did not find this to be true...

Yea it patterns better but it didnt impress me on the penitration...

I shot a gobbler 2 years ago at about 50 yards with the old Hevi13 #6's and I definetly hit him but he jumped up and flew off... The only reason I took that shot was because of all the hype I read on these forums...

Last spring I shot a jake at I know was at least 50 yards with Hevi13 #5's and I got the bird but it was the most alive bird I ever had to dispatch...

People can say what they want about the stuff killing birds out to 60 and 70 yards... I say BULL ----!!!
