Title: Lot numbers for Hevi Shot
Post by: Clif Owen on April 10, 2012, 11:36:29 PM
I notice that evidently, some lot numbers of the Hevi Shot seem to pattern better than others. Is there a place where a person could check to see if the ones he has or is thinking about buying are "good" or not?

Thanks,
Clif

I was afraid to ask for that! I'm away from home right now at work and won't be home for a day or 2.

Thanks!I ordered 3 more boxes , they said they would try and pull the same lot#'s. I just ordered the ones I got today Teusday so maybe they'll be the same. I've been shooting the 101028 with pretty good results.
Thanks!

People are making too big a deal on this lot number stuff. Sure, some lots shoot better than others but I haven't seen a 12 ga Hevi load yet that wouldn't pattern better than any comparable factory load. Most can answer their own questions simply by patterning a round or two from whatever lot they have.
