Title: Lot number?
Post by: davisd9 on April 07, 2011, 01:07:43 PM
Ordered a box of Hevi13 2oz 7s and it had the number 101028 stamped on the lid flap.  What year is this?  I notice most of the ones ya'll have spoke of have 300 at the beginning. Thanks!

I'm no expert on Hevi, although the 3in. 2oz. 7's I have purchased so far alll have the same #101028 .

The ones they speak of starting in the 300 series, are those in the 3.5in. 2.25oz loads I believe?

I'm getting in the game kind of late, is there a problem between this year and last year shells??

with some lot # yes.
Last year 3.5" #7s I got 324 at 40 yards in a 10" circle
This years lot # 300487 I got 225 at 40 yards
99 pellets is a pretty big difference

Anything with the 3in. that were asked about with lot 101028, as that was the original question?

I was answering SinGin's question. I do not know the answer to your question.
