Post by: chatterbox on March 03, 2011, 07:00:51 PM
Does anyone shoot this load? How do they compare to the 3-2-6 hevi?

Last year I got 173 in 10" at 40 from my 870 and 21" barrel with the 1-5/8 oz load.

Shot this lighter H13 load today...it was all my local store had of the H13...and I prefer not to pay shipping charges.

11-87 with .665 JH choke, distances were measured at a local range using their patterning board

H13 3-1 5/8oz-6 @ 30 yards 213 pellets in a 10" circle

H13 3-1 5/8oz-6 @ 40 yards 120 pellets in a 10" circle

I got 130s in a 10 at 40 with a tristar and a puregold (it was chilly outside and the barrel wasn't cleaned)

I got 130-140 out of a jelly head in a 870 (again that was about the 4th shot through the barrel and it wasn't cleaned between)

I just bought a box of 2ounce6s to try out.

I shoot the 1 5/8 6's out of 24" barreled Stoeger with a Jellyhead.  I would have to dig the target out, but I believe I got in the 150's @ 40 yds.

Dug out the target and it was actually 175 @ 40 yds.

My 40 yard shot with this H13 shell was about the 8th shot of the day and barrel had not been cleaned....probably could have been a better shot as well. Pellet count seemed low, if I did a reshot would expect it to be in the 140-150 range.

A local gun shop I go to had several boxes of this load for $9.99 per box.

He also had a TON of #4's for $9.99 per box.

If I wasn't getting into loading my own, I would have bought the #6's.

a couple or so years ago,I ran across 3 boxes of this light load in #5's for 8.99 a box so I bought them planning on coyote hunting with them
took them to the pattern board just to get an idea,used my 835 with a stardot,needless to say they didn't go coyote hunting,I have taken several birds with those shells,they pattern great

The 1.75 Oz and 2.00 Oz #6 shells pattern about the same for me.

The 1.625 Oz shells have never patterned very well for me.  I've shot a lot of them too.

The heavier loads give me another 50-60+ hits in 10" at 40 Yards.
