Title: Shot the fed hw today
Post by: jdub2041 on February 08, 2012, 05:32:13 PM
I got a chance to shoot the federal HW #7 today and I'm very pleased with the results. 139 in 10in. @40 temp was 63. Results were shot from  my 20ga 870 with 28in. Barrel with remSF choke

I have gotten almost exactly the same results with that same combination. Have taken birds at 40+ and 38 yards with it.

If you have not taken the time to deep clean and polish the interior of your barrel, look into doing that. You should see an increase of about 15% in your patterns.

I am hoping to get some Fed HW #7's thru my BPS this weekend. Trulock choke should be in today or tomorrow, and polishing supplies should be in by late week.
