Title: Federal HWT #6s
Post by: Dallen92 on April 02, 2014, 10:30:35 AM
I have found a local sporting good stores that has about 5 of the 10 round boxes of the 3.5 inch and 1 7/8 oz #6s in federal heavyweight.  I can pick these up for a good price but I am not sure how they would shoot cause I know that I have not seen the best results for these shells in the 12 gauge. I would rather have the 7s but for that deal I feel like it might me worth trying the 6s. Any thoughts on this or any experience with the 6s?

I can tell you they will absolutely crush a bird...if you can find a choke combo that you like...hard to beat 10 bucks per box for good HTL loads

For that price don't wait a minute go back and grab every box. They also make a heck of a goose load.

Get them all, if they do not pattern for turkey they will surely crush some decoying geese and any ducks  you want to shoot!!!

Sounds like i will be going to pick these up then. Just need to find a choke for them. What chokes are some of yall shooting this load out of? I have heard the wrights .650 shoots these well but apparently they are hard to come by.

if you don't want these HW6's, PM me the info because I do...buy them all would be my advice to you and dont worry too much about the pellet count compared to the Hevi numbers as these are killers.
