Very impressive.I would try those if I can find them,I have the older 3rd degree and they really did not pattern good out of 4 20 gauges past 30 yards.

Saw them at Walmart today. Less then $14 for a 5 pack.  Did not buy any as I have a good bit of Heavyweight 7's in the inventory.

Ttt with this one.
  Not to shabby with this pattern. These are back on the shelves at a (almost)reasonable price, 30 dollars a box. The meateater blend, I did pick up one box.

My pattern only looked decent with them when I patterned. But I misjudged the yardage and killed a turkey at 50 yards with the 3rd Degree.

I hate a duplex load. Always have. I'd rather shoot straight lead #4s (and did) than a mixed bag. Never had any duplex load pattern well and never understood the point.

If it patterns good, I'll shoot it.

The old Remington 4x6 shot great out of my 835. Old black Winchester 4's did as well. Now my 20, loves to be fed Mag blend, I'll tinker with this Meateater to see how it patterns. If it does good I'll post it up.

I have actually had pretty good luck with the new Federal 3rd degree 5-6-7's from a few 20's, I am taking some tomorrow to hopefully pattern from my Winchester sxp longbeard 20, as thats what Id like to shoot from that gun and they have shot well from my old sxp longbeard 20 ga and my sx4 turkey 20 ga. That 40 yard pattern is excellent,mine were strong too. I think I have 8 of them left, but I can pick up more locally,I found one spot has them for $22.95, the other place is $34.95 which is the correct price from basically every other shop and yes,they are the "new" ones, I think they are just trying to unload stock.
