I have shot Hevi-Shot since it first come out. I still have 5-8 boxes of the original Hevi-shot in the clear white hull where you can see the loadings inside before Remington started making it for them.
I shoot it exclusively for Turkeys and 98% of the time for Waterfowl in the Hevi-Metal loadings. I just use steel as my first shot and back it up with HM in both my 12 and 20 gauges. Great stuff!!!!
