If you had the choice between #6 Heavyweight or #7 hevi-shot for 20ga which would you choose?

HVWT 6's, ---with the right choke you have a good 10" at 40yds for for head neck shot.

if you need a follow up shot the HVWT 6's have the power to stop a turkey

I've never shot the Federal 6's but I have killed several with H13 7's.  If your gun throws a good pattern with the 6's then that would be the way to go but I've seen several posts where guys can't get good patterns. The 7's shoot good in pretty much everything.    The 7's would be my pick.

Hevi 7s will give a denser and more forgiving pattern and still kill him as far as the rules allow to speak of

Heavyweight would not give consistent numbers or Point of impact in any gun or choke I shot them through. Was very frustrating so I sold all of mine and went with Hevi 13 7s. Very happy with the decision.
