If they're waiting on tungsten prices to drop, those rounds are as good as discontinued.

it's not the harvest,it's the chase

3" 870 Shell Shucker

If they are not available for purchase on store shelves by the start of Turkey season, then they are discontinued THIS year, even if not forever.

Just make the switch to Hevi-13 #7's  It will shoot circles around the xtended range ammo.

I would hope so being as how hevi-13 straight #6s have numerous pellets that measure as real shot size 7,8,and 9. If not smaller. The only reason they pattern better than xtended range is because there are more pellets in a 2 oz load because there are so many that are so freaking small.

The hevi kill good dont get me wrong but i will take the xtended every day because they are a little cheaper per shell,  the exact same density,  and actually have a little quality control being as there pellets are consistent,  uniform , and Polished

Well shoot what you like.  But if they are so good then why have they been discontinued?  Food for thought.  Hevi-13 ain't going anywhere.

I like the hevi dont get me wrong and i still have a stockpile of it since i have moved to tss and hw15. The hevi is not going anywhere and thats a fact. Theres more to xtended range being discontinued than the pattern.   winchester being a full blown ammo facility.  With hevi making loading the sheer amount of shells that they do the shot comes cheaper. Winchester has more invested in other stuff than to worry with one line of shells.

Lucky I found two boxes of the 3.5" 6 shot and one box of 2 3/4" 6 shot yesterday. I still had two boxes of the 3.5" left. As long as I don't miss I should be good for the next twenty or so seasons here in Maryland...Lol
