HeviShot HEVI-13

Anybody else tried this shell? All I can say is WOW.....talk
about a hard hitting shell. These babies are the finest
turkey shell that I have ever used and they will reach out
and touch a turkey.

I went with the blend...4,5,&7. Unbelievable pattern at 40 yds out of my benelli SBE.

I also shoot the mag blend 4,5,&7s. They are by far my favorite turkey loads. They reach out there and keep a dense pattern!

Yes I use them in my Mossberg 835 with a Indian Creek Ckoke Tube, using 3.5", 2-1/4oz., #5 or #6

I would agree that the Magnum Blend is awesome as well.
You cannot go wrong with either shell. The HeviShot
ammo is awesome from top to bottom.

By the way, Santa Cruz ROCKS........what a surf town.

Try them with a .670 Pure Gold and you'll really get a head twist.

The .570 Pure Gold for the 20 gauge will turn a 20 gauge into the same turkey slammer as a 12 gauge too...

One of these days I'm going to break down and try these bad boys!!! It seems like anyone who's tried them, loves them. I might check them out this spring. I get a fine pattern out of my winchester/remington loads - but curiousity is finally going to break me down and I'll buy a box of hevi shot...

These shells were initially designed with Stewart Wright of Wrights Superior chokes from here in Illinois in Pickneyville, Il. He set the world records bar with the 20ga taking the Worlds Turkey Championships with his tubes for 4 years in a row!!!! 43 pellets in a 3" circle at 40yds!!!! I have had stewart do all of my choke tube work from back in the 70's to now.
I used to go to his house and get work done in his backroom while his wife was cooking dinner and would invite us to eat with them!!!!!
I have 2 of his Turkey tubes, 1 in 20ga for my wifes 11-87 Premier and 1 for my SX2. My nephew took a tom with my X2 at a lasered 67yds, with HS-13, 3"-6's, DRT!!!!! I took a coyote with it at 55yds with the same load, except with the 20ga!!!! Deadly shot and tubes!!!!

I shot the 13's and the blends, but the Rem. Wingmaster HD's still outperformed them both in my setup. I'm sticking with the HD's. They are all great turkey loads. Is it turkey season yet?
