Store bought ammunition: Federal Heavyweight 7's


It hits like Thor's hammer.

I like the Magnum Blend shells from Hevishot in
both 3" and 3.5" load sizes

3in Mag blend in my 835. Jebs choke.

I would start with Winchester long beard. I started shooting them and no other shell has compared to them.

Just go to TSS and be done with it.

I ordered a couple of boxes of Winchester Longbeards in 5 shot. Heard good things about them.

I found these are perfect through my SBE. Only short comings are price point but the results are too impressive to not use them. I patterned at 40 yards which is generally my personal outer limit and can see it would reach out to over 60 without any problem.

Use to shoot Nitro Company shells for years, but their crimps lacked quality control and most of the buffer would leak out.
Switched to the Winchester Long Beards myself and haven't looked back. The cost factor was worth the switch, yet alone the patterning ability of these shells.

I shoot the Magnum blend. With the $10 rebate Hevi Shot puts out each year, the price is not so bad.

Magnum blend with jellyhead choke will blow the handle off thors hammer! In 870 or 835
