Did a little shooting today with my weatherby. I havent shot it since adding the pistol grip, or with a truglo SSX or with federal 6s. All my yardages are steel taped.
With Truglo SSX

Looking good!! This will be my first year with a 20 and I am really enjoying this patterning stuff.....I have never gotten this serious about patterns until now. I used to just shoot the 12 and if I had a dozen or so pellets in the head and neck I went hunting.....that has changed now!! I am loving the 20!!
Best of luck this season!!!
You've got some great patterns with the HW 7s. That's a real nice gun too. I would ditch the HW 6s and H13 7s in favor of the HW 7s. Unless not legal where you hunt, they are by far the superior load. They hit like a freight train and have tons of excess energy. All the 6s do is decrease your pattern numbers (even though they are quite good as well).
I hunt with fed 7 s. I just shot the 6s to see what they would do, and I shot the Hevi 13 to also see what it would do out of the SSX. I bought the SSX during the season last year and didn't pattern it.
I have federal 7 patterns that are lower then that pure gold fed 6 pattern. That may be the load for that choke.
