Well I can't comment because of now I am boycotting Hevi-13 loads.  


Looks like you need to change your name then.

I'm sorry Mom,  She told me " Be nice or be quiet"

Last year I performed five thorough necropsies on turkeys killed w/ Hevi-13, 7's.  Two of the birds were evaluated first w/ x-rays, followed by a complete dissection of the head and neck.  I posted my results on OG, but unfortunately they were lost in the "crash".  As a former biologists, I've done necropsies on turkeys for over 30 years and I can say without reservation that I've never documented the penetration, pass-through, and tissue damage from a factory loaded shell which was inflicted by the Hevi-13, 7's at ranges of 30-52 yards.  The only factory load which approximated the Hevi-13, 7's was the Hevi-13, 6's, which I shot exclusively for several season prior to the introduction of the 7's.  The added number of pellets to the birds head and neck from shells delivering the 7's vs the 6's translates to a significant increase in energy.  Ronnie, Hal and several others on OG with extensive experience reloading HTL had accurately predicted the potential of the Hevi-13, 7's.  Last year made a believer out of me!!!

That's very revealing information. I appreciate the post.

Thanks,

Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.
