Title: Old hevi shot
Post by: bigbird on March 07, 2014, 11:02:01 PM
 I found some old remington hevi shot in a store by my house tagged from 2002! Is it worth a crap it's priced cheap and comes in boxes of 10 not 5!

No clue but I picked up a box of #6s over the summer, at the worst its cheaper than the Normal Hevi shot and I can use it to get sighted in on, if it patterns well then its a bonus and I can use it to kill birds with

I was given a box recently. Its 1 1/4 oz 4s. I plan on backing up my lead 6s with it and /or it will be there to slip in for a coyote.

The white shells were supposed to be the cats meow. Clark Bush would definitely be able to advise you on them.

I say buy them. If they don't work for you, somebody will buy them off you.

As long as they were kept in a cool dry place (the store display/storage shelf) they'll last a life time. Check the brass collars, they should still be relatively bright. Any corrosion is a deal breaker.

They have prolly 5 boxes of 3" #4's 2-3 boxes 3 1/2" #4's and 1 box 31/2" #5
  $25.99 for 3"    $28.99 for the big boys,  I bought the #6's in 3 1/2" and a box of #4's in 3". Nothing I've ever killed a gobbler with does it quite like #4's! IMO

I'd definitely buy those shells.  I shot the green 3 inch #5 Hevi-shot for years. They are great shells!

Glad i came across this post.
I was curious also about the green colored shells. I recently went by a local gun shop and they were selling 3.5" and 3" HEVI-SHOT HEVI 13 BRAND loads for only $10 for 5!. The week before i stopped in at gander mountain and picked up a box for $30 for 5. Later i noticed they were green instead of gold like the new ones i purchased at gander?

He also had the dead coyote hevi shot T size for $23 for 10 compared to the gander price of $60 for 10! They have green hulls also.
