Anybody had any luck with these? I know their 12 gauge loads aren't that great.

A lot of guys dont but I've had pretty decent(not outstanding)results with them out of my 870 with both the jellyhead and Rem SF chokes.Very solid at 30/35 yds.If I'm hunting somewhere where its gonna be close quarters I leave the Hevi at home and pack this.Would not be hesitant to use and will buy in the future if I find them for the right $$.
I get mid 80's in the ten at 40 with my 870 and tightwad choke using these loads. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in my gun. I don't get many 40 yard shots anyway.
for some reason they never have done very good for me in my 870
Like someone else said, out to 35 they are probably fine, but most any shell is good out to 35. It really depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you hunt mostly fields, you might want to spend a little more on some Fed HW's or Hevi shot since you may need to reach out there a little further. If you hunt mostly timber, you will probably be fine.
Ive got a good setup with HWT 6s. But I'm just piddling with lead to see what would work if need be. This is the first box of 6s I've seen on the shelf. Today I found some Federal FCWs in #6 lead that I'll probably try as well.
