Where can you buy the new fed. heavyweight in the size 7? I can't find them anywhere.[:@]

I wouldnt use # 7 in the first place..but im not sure where u would find it. I know wal-mart carries federal ammo..if you havea gander mountain store try there..they have a bunch of ammo.

In Mississippi I havn't been able to find it anywhere

Just curious why you wouldn't consider using the new Heavyweight in #7?

While at the NWTF convention this past w/end I spoke with the Hevi-Shot folks as well asreps from Federal, Remington, and Winchester. The Heavyweight #7 pellet, according to the person at the Federal booth, carries about the same downrange energy as a lead 5. But here's the kicker - the 3.5 inchload ofHeavyweight#7s hasover 500pellets. If retained energy is similar to a #5 or even #6 I would think this would be an awesome round.

dang..that does sound like a good round..i didnt know all that..i just thought it would be just another regular ole number 7 shot..but all that info sounds good that you just said..guess i dont need to underestimate asmaller shot size anymore..im gonna have to find some of those

I'm assuming that the 3 1/2'' is loaded with 2oz. of shot and if there is only 400 pellets in it, it is almost as big as number fives that or there is alot of filler (buffer) in it. In 2oz. off lead there is 450 pellets so I would just guess there should be close to575 #7's in a 2oz. load of lead.

I have read where a very selected few are able to get them straight from Federal.

They probably won't be on the market by this Spring.

I have heard that too about Hevi-Shot, that you can go down a shotsize or two due to the density. Sounds like a pretty good advantage to me.

I've been looking for them ever since they announced they were coming out. It sounds like it would be an awsome load. If anyone hears of a place to get some, I'd love an email.

i just ordered mine from mack's prairie wings. they are on backorder tho'.
