New Hevi13 loads
#3
I know that Environ will be making a 3.5", 2.25 oz load in straight 7s that will be loaded to 1200 fps. That appears to be a direct effort to compete against the Nitro company loads that I currently shoot.
I can't find any of these around my area yet. I am going to the NWTF Convention Feb 20th and I expect to pick some up there. I hope the price is less than the $6.00 a pop that I paid for Nitros last year.

Cabela's must have just gotten their alotment because I just rec'd. an email from them advising that they had sent out my backorder from a month ago. I ordered a 10 count box of the 5,6,7's. Cost- 25.00 shipped. It's going to be tough for them to top the Nitro's but you never know. They're definitely cheaper. It'll be a couple of wks before I can shoot em but if nobody else has posted their findings I'll post what I found out with them. I've also ordered an Indian Creek choke tube for my Encore which comes in a .660 constriction. Should be a great combination but you never know until you shoot em.

Yea. I'll prob be ordering my shells soon!!! I was looking at my patterns from last year and My gun really patterned the old Hevi13 #6 loads really well at 40 yards... Prob the best patterns I ever had...
I think that I will prob be shooting Hevi13 #6's this spring...

I seen them (Hevi13 Blend), listed in the Cabela's Spring turkey issue catalog as well. But, I still have quite a few Nitro company shells left, and will try out those shells after I run out of the Nitro's....

Quite a bit cheaper than Nitro's especially when you factor in the rebate, and if I recall correctly Environ Metal is advertising somewhere around 290 in a 10" at 40 yards for their magnum blend so the straight 7's should be even better.
