 :drool:  After a conversation with a member of hevi-shot's staff today there will be a NEW load out by this fall's turkey season (IF you have one) it's gonna be called Hevi-18. The ONLY thing this fella elaborated on was that it will be offered in straight shot sizes and will be out this fall.

As for me, I'll stick with the Hevi 13 #7's out of my 835.  They haven't let me down(and I have plenty) so no need to change.  I'm not going to spend $10 per shell to kill a bird at 25 yards when a $5 shell will do the trick LOL.  I hope they plan on loading #9's in their offerings.

How often will they change the components to these rounds? Hevi 13 seemed to change every year.

So will a 2$ shell. My old lead 4' s never failed me once. At about 10$  a box it's a no brainer.

I assume they`ll be more expensive than Hevi-13s, which already has tungsten as a part of the alloy, along with nickel and iron. Those do just fine for me in my 12 gauge 870 Super Mag.

I do the majority of my calling with the same $8 mouth call, yet season after season I keep buying more $$$ custom calls then I could carry if I wore all 3 of my vests at the same time.. I do a lot of crazy things when it comes to turkey.

I use their shells occasionally in one of my set ups. I hope they finally figure out how to properly crimp shells. That seems to be an ongoing problem for them, I've had many leak buffer and shot. But they do preform well.

Their Magnumblend shells shot good for me but I hated their poor crimping jobs.

Looking forward to trying H-18 out!

There has been some press on IG about it already...
