Ever lost a bird with #7 hevi shot???
just curious if anybody ever shot at a turkey at say 45-50 yards and had the bird just fly off???
|
I shot my limit last year using Hevi 13 blend #5,6,7 and they worked great! I have never used just a #7 for turkey hunting.
|
Had a good year last year and killed 3 with the Hevi 13 7's but none of em over 40 yds. I've shot a few turkeys in my 40 plus years of turkey hunting and I was impressed. The stuff hits " hard".
|
No, but I sure have had quite a few fall over dead.
|
I've never used 7's before, but have killed quite a few with 6's and some at long range. I've always been a little Leary of going that small. Last year I shot hevi 13 no 5's and they hit hard! No problem there if I need the range. Killed one at about 38 yards with them.
|
No sir. Been using straight 7's in my SP-10 now for 2 seasons. They all took a dirt nap. I'm very impressed with pattern density and sustained energy..even out to 50 yds.

I had one get away last year, but I won't blame it on the shell! It was the same morning that I had knocked the sight off my shotgun. It was a clean miss.
The ones that did catch the #7's didn't know what hit them. Remember, Hevi's have as much knockdown as lead shot 2 sizes larger. Would you be worried about taking a bird at 50 yards with a tight pattern of lead 5's??? rw |
the only reason a bird would fly off at that distance is if you missed him
|
public or private bird? Of course the public ones are tougher to knock down so it would depend.........
|
Oh, I know you just didn't.:happy0157: Of course we know public birds are much tougher than those sissy private ones. Those 7's will bounce right off of them.
