Any Federal Heavyweight users?
Right now I shoot the Hevi-shot Magnum Blend. I've been interested in the Federal Heavyweight due mainly to the Flitecontrol wad.
I shoot the Blackcloud out of my SBEII and love it. Have any of you shot the Federal Heavyweight and been able to see a difference?

The Federal Heavyweight can be a good load, but you have to have the right choke. No chokes with porting, or wad strippers, and not so tight that they compress the petals of the wad too much.
I feel like Federal would dominate the market if they would up their payload, move to a more turkey hunter friendly wad, and with their shot density move to a #8 pellet.....oh well one can always dream.
