These shells shot terrible the other day! I am going to try to shoot some like I do my FCW Federals and see if I get different results! I done some research and some people say they have a wad similar to the Federals!

And that vid is nothing more than crappy marketing to the gullable masses. The results with these loads...in virtually EVERY member's gun on this site have been crappy to down right horrible. While I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the component shot to handload, there is no way I'm gonna waste my money on these steamers. I put them right behind Hevi Metal Turkey for over marketed poor performing loads...
they arent even good enuff for intruder loads,,,,,,

If I was trying to sell a load that only put 70 pellets in a12in. square at 40, I would keep that info to myself not use it to advertise. :TooFunny:
Too many good alternatives to that shell on the market. I for one wouldn't waste a dime on them.
Save your money
Hornady should stick to rifle ammo, that they actually do well. Even so, I'd take my handloads any day

Save your money
Would save my money also and get only ONE Hevi-13 shell if i had to.
I am a Hornady fan but not in shot shells.

I agree with ya'll on a waste of time and money! I love Hornady rifle ammo but they could discontinue the production of the turkey loads and reduce overhead!
I wish I ha looked into this post before I got a box, I got a box of the 5's 1.5 oz. load, in 12 ga. shot in my 3.5 single shot in full choke, that loves the fed. fcw, it looked like a sawed off shot gun shot it, the pattern was over 4 feet at 40 yards, had 4 in the vitals but a wide open pattern, a friend shot 1 in a 870 with a .665 hastings, it was about the same, they are no good, the shot is good but the shell is crap, I see they will soon discontinue this load,do not waste your money, go get some hevi shot or the lead fcw loads.
I told him not to,but a buddy of mine just had to get some,he bought the #6's
using a Mossberg 500 with a .660 Tightwad
I have very serious doubts about turkeys,but if we were dove hunting,he would have a killer load
I've seen where ppl are posting that they are shooting them through tight chokes but it says on the box that they work best out of a improved cylinder or modified choke has anyone tried them in those chokes
Yes. I have. They still SUCK!!!!!!!!!! :TooFunny:
