Post by: bowhunter2k9 on February 15, 2013, 02:01:26 PM
Hey guys, I went to buy some Hevishot and BAM... prices were ridiculous!!! 39.99 for 5 shots... Looks like lead this year for me unless you guys know of any good prices!!!

If you google Hevi13 turkey loads you can find 3" boxes of 5 shells for $26-30, not including shipping.  There is also the $10 rebate available through the manufacturer.  Still expensive, but less than the prices you've encountered.

Good luck!

Magblends are $35 locally. I believe I will just be shooting Nitros out of the 935 for that kinda price.

Hopefully they'll have another rebate this year.....I bought a lot from cabelas on sale for $19.99 a box and free shipping and sent my rebates in for $5 off each box last year for a total of $14.99 per box.... 12 gauge 3.5 inch #6's.

Don't think for one miniute the discontinuation of Win XRHD hasn't been noticed by EM. I bet the prices for Hevi-13 will skyrocket instead of decrease.
If I didn't have plenty of HTL left, I would look into Nitros or handloading.

Same boat, I made a little stock pile of 3-2-7 just in case.

Not wanting to hijack your thread, but this is making my TSS handloads look frugal at $6.75 per squeeze.

Academy sports had the best prices but they have probably sold out by now.

Check Rogers Sporting Goods, Graf & Sons ( Best Shipping Price ) .

When you are in the drivers seat like EM is, you hold all the cards.
Sad, but that's the way it's going to be going forward.
Stock up............ A storm is brewing.

Not sure where you live, but Sportsmans Warehouse has 3 in Magblends for 26.  Add the rebate and it's not too bad.

The price of tungsten has risen extremely fast for the past few years. Look for Hevi-13 on Rogers and be sure to take advantage of the rebate on the HeviShot website, it'll help. The website is www.hevishot.com

I always say 'you can't put a price tag on fun.'               :goofball:

I don't mind paying the money for the performance.  Hevi 3-2-7 simply blows any lead load I've tried so stocking up was a no brainer for me.

I dont think they will; I spoke to a young lady at Environ yesterday and she told me they didnt have any on order. You beat me to it on those 3" blends 01foreman.

This will be my first time shooting the Hevi-13's.  I just hope my M1 likes them.

I stopped by a local gas station and saw 4 boxes of 3 1/2" 2 1/4oz #6 hevi-shot.... They were in a corner and had dust on them, so I asked the gas station owner, "Would you take $90 for these 4 boxes?". He said "why not". Made my day!
