Title: Remington 20 ga hevishot
Post by: Doug-Va on February 13, 2011, 05:03:10 PM
Hey i'm new to this board but was wondering if anyone knew were i can still get some Remington 20 hevishot? I haven't tried any other hevishot but use my sons mossberg 20 with a compnchoke 565 and have really been impressed with the way it shoots!! I know one day i am going to have to give the other hevishot a try but still have 3 boxes of remington hevishot

I've been trying to find some myself to no avail.If you come across any Id sure like to know!!Im down to about 15 shells,but have been using lead as shot distance at home doesnt really call for the hevi(30 or less)but if I could come across a nice stash I'd probably use it more.

I really messed up a few years back when i found them at Rogerssportinggoods.com and shouldnt have ordered more but didn't. Ended up getting more 12 ga than 20 :(

Rogers had sold out of the #6 when I found them. But still had some #5. They also had the ten ga 1 7/8 #6 on sale cheaper than you could buy the hevi shot.   Couldn't give the empty ten ga shells or wads away. But I do have a little #6 hs. :anim_25:
