Jellyhead and Hevi 13
 
What a combo... I read all the hype on the Primos forum... So I gave it a try...

Awsome combo... 40 yards just tore a turkey target up!!! I don't shoot 10" circles... I just shot at turkey targets... So I cant tell you how many in a circle... I can say it's the best patterning turkey combo I've ever tryed...

The only thing I don't like is the fact the the Hevi13 loads are only traveling 1090fps... I don't like that:(

I've tried several different loads with my Jellyhead, and Hevi 13's had by far the worst pattern. The Wingmaster HD's patterened the best. What gun are you shooting? They may work betterwith your particular gun.

H'mm, I shoot a Rem. 870 SPS-T 3.5 thumbhole with a 23 inch barrel. Maybe I just had a bad day. I just could not get a good pattern with them beyond 30 yards.

superstrutter did you use the 3" or the 3.5" with 2-1/4ozand what size shot did you use? I was told by HeviSHot and Indian Creek Choke Tubes, to use the 3.5" with 2-1/4oz. #6, I have a Mossberg 835

My choke is the .665 and the load was 3.5" hevi 13 with 1 3/4oz of number 6's going 1090fps

STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!!!!

Mr.Longbeard has opened his eyes to technology and has seen the light! :D

And I remember you saying that you didn't believe that people were getting upwards of 200+ pellets in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards. Believe us now? Was that thud I heard earlier those Winchester #6's hitting the bottom of the garbage can?:DI don't care how much those Hevi-13's are, you won't shoot nothing else now. You think those Hevi-13's shoot good?I wish you could somehow find a Nitro to shoot.;)

Mr. Longbeard it seems they are also 1090fps. Here is a link: http://www.hevishot.com/images/panels/turkey/HeviShot%20Hevi13%20Sell%20Sheet.pdf

No, that's good. Lead needs a higher velocity because it's going to lose its "umph" quicker than Hevi-Shot. Hevi-shot is more dense than lead anddoesn't slow down as much as lead resulting in more down-range energy. If you could shoot both lead and Hevi-shot at a target 40 yards away, with the lead shell going 1300 fps and the Hevi-Shot going 1090 fps, the Hevi-Shot would get to the target first and have more energy when it gets there.
