Title: Opinion on Hevi13 12 Gauge 6s, 1 5/8, 3 inch
Post by: davisd9 on March 22, 2011, 07:32:10 PM
Ordered a few boxes to pattern.  Just wondering on what others think about them.  Going to pattern out of an 835 with a Star Dot choke.  Any opinions would be great!  Thanks!

I tried them, but didn't have any luck. I hope yours is better.

nice pattern. i dont no the numbers at 30 but 40 yds shootin the hevi 7's i got 179 in the 3" shell.. just dont think u need the 3 1/2 " shell.. maybe you will get more pellets an all but i think its overkill ?

No better than Win Sup HV Lead.  About 100 in 10" at 40 Yards.

To jump well ahead of Lead in pattern performance, I've found that it takes at least 1 3/4 Ounces of H13.  Why?  I don't know, but I've shot at least 20-30 rounds of the 1 5/8 Ounce shells, and they patterned about 100 in 10" at 40 Yards. 

With the 1 3/4 Ounce shells, it's been 130-159 in several different chokes, and two different guns.  Normally 150+ in a good choke.
