Is it still possible to get the new federal heavyweight in #7 shot size now that the seasons over? If so where?

check your local shops....most are probably out but cant hurt to stop by. even Gander mountain only carrys loads like that seasonally. your best bet is probably to order it from cabelas or somewhere. i wish everywhere carried loads all year. i rather pattern over the summer then in the winter before the season. i do too much fishing right before the season to try to pattern my gun. i usually buy right after the season. most places mark them down right after the season. last year i picked up a hevi shot tube and a box of hevi shot for like 20$. i saved over double! if i would known how they would patterend and remington not selling the same hevishot loads i would bought walmart out of the loads. stupid me! i didnt get a chance to pattern till a few weeks later. wished i would bought more!

I've shot the Fed FC HW #5's and they shot pretty good out past 40 yards... I really cant see any reason to shoot #7's unless your gun just doesent pattern very wellwith#4's or 5's[]

That had me thinking also!

I think #7 are abit to small for a 30 yard shot are farther but thats me

Well I'm sure the HW #7's would kill a turkey out to 40. But I would much rather have the #5's just in case a gobbler hung up out 45 or 50...

Now if my gun patterned like crap and all I could get to shot was #7's then Federal hear I come
