RE: Jellyhead and Hevi 13
 

I shoot an 835 with a Jelly head and 3.5" 2 1/4 #6 Hevi 13 and had 16 pellets in the head or spine (bone!) on a H.S. Turkey head target at 40 yards. Flipped a bird right over at 35 yards in NE a month ago! I love my combo and wouldn't change it for nothing.

RE: Jellyhead and Hevi 13
 

What I'd really like to do is some experimenting(spelling) and shoot some Hevi13 against my Win HV #5's at 40 yards and see which one has the better penitration... I just don't know what to use as a test material... I'm thinking a phone book... That way I could just count the number of pages that each shell penitrated...

Why do you think they will duck???

RE: Jellyhead and Hevi 13
 

Mr. Longbeard, to be honest with you you'd be wasting your money by doing so IMO. They're both basically the same pellet and will definitely kill at 40+ yards with ease. It's your money though. If you absolutely have to do it though I'd go buy a couple chickens at the grocery storeand wrap them with wet paper bags or something that may simulate feathers.

I patterned the 3.5" 5 shot. I don't believe it was 2 1/4 oz. It was the green hull. I've heard the old whiteshell and the gold shell are better, why?

RE: Jellyhead and Hevi 13
 

If you think that is shocking, what do you think about Mr. Longbeard joining a club? What's this, private land hunting?

RE: Jellyhead and Hevi 13
 

The whole reason guys use that 10" circle measurement as a standard is ebcause in theory a birds head can be anywhere inside that 10" circle when you actually crack the shot off with that constantly dancing head of theirs. :D
Its important to have as many pellets in a uniform pattern inside an imaginary 10" kill zone to fill any gaps if a bird moves from dead center as you fire.

I'm really impressed with my combo as well.......870 Supermag , ICSS .665 and the 3.5" 2 1/4oz #6's
even out of a cruddy barrel it put 29 pellets in the white "vital" areas of the head and neck alone on my turkey target at 40 yards. (spine, skull, vessels)
You couldn't squeeze a fart anywhere in between the pellets inside that 10" ring of death.

I'll be interested to see what it does off a bench with a clean barrel in the offseason. Might try some #5's too just for giggles and maybe some Nitros.

I shoot that exact same shell out of the 835 but with a Pure Gold .670.

I also have a Jellyhead for my 835, and using the Hevi-13 it was the second best performer of the five choke tubes I shot behind only the pure gold.

The Pure Gold put 207 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards.

The 390 Beretta, which is my duck gun, that I let Rebecca shoot for turkeys uses a Jellyhead also. We're putting Rem Premier Copper Plated #6 down her, and she's a great shooter out to 40 yards..... not too tight, not too open... but really about as tight a pattern with even plated lead as I've ever had shoot out of 3" gun.

I can also remember Mr.Longbeard sayin anyone who shot 6 shot must not have much of a gun:DLive and learn
