I tested several top shells ( Hevi 13, Hevi shot blend, Win. Extended, Federal Flight control ), and the HD's outperformed them all. Of course each setup is different. The heavier than lead loads are worth the extra dollars.
This is the exact same setup I used in my old 870...absolutely devastating patterns! Hevi-Shot Magnum Blend patterns better out of the Mossberg 835 that I am now using.
Remington has since stopped manufacturing the 3.5" #6's...only make them in 3" now. Hard to find. I have a couple boxes of 10 left if you're interested...let me know.
