Who Else Loves the Hevi13 Shells?
#12
Those 3" Hevi-Shot Mag. Blend are some awsome shells!!! The pattern better out of 12ga 870, my sons 12ga Moss 500, and my daugthers 20ga , than any other shell I have ever shot.
I have tried the 6's and 7's I beleive and they patterned very good also but I distant 2nd to the Mag Blend out of all three of our shotguns.
Yeah the price is steap but will all the money you spend on gas, calls and other things related to turkey hunting is it really going to break the bank to shoot about a $5 shell at a turkey if that shell gives you better patterns and longer range.
It's not like you are dove hunting with them, with turkeys you are going to get one good shot and if you only get 2 tags that is a small price to pay if they work for your gun.

Only an idiot would pay $5 per shot.................. was my mentality until a buddy gave me a couple to try. I've played the pattern game extensively in the past few months and it can drive you nuts but it's fun. I have nearly 2 dozen different brands/load combinations and a few different chokes. None of all the loads I've shot compare to the hevi-shot, it's amazing stuff and well worth it if you're driven to get the maximum performance out of your gun. By the way, if you buy them on sale and send in the rebate it isn't that bad. Last week I ordered several boxes of hevi #6 on sale at $16.99 per box with free shipping. You get the rebate in only a couple weeks and you're sitting at $12 per box.

Of course they do... There 80% #7 shot
I shot my gun yesterday at 45 yards and got 11 hits in the vitals with Win HV #5's
I'll take my chance at 45 yards with lead #5's!!! Worked every time so far...

Target was at 40 yards. And I could care less what's outside the circles. Keep the pattern on him and he's dead. Which is why I use a red dot sight for precise aiming. As for the turkey head target there are 32 pellets in head and neck "BONE". If you count every pellet that drew blood it's in the high 80's. He can't tote that anywhere but straight down. And that's exactly where the 3 I've killed so far this year went.
