Hevi 13 FYI

[WildTigerTrout]

I'll be shooting lead. :/ not paying those prices

I have shot lead loads for years in all my turkey guns.  I did kill a good gobbler years ago with the original Remington Hevi-Shot 12 ga. 3.5" HV 1 3/4 oz. #4 shot.  That was soon after it was introduced. I just in the past couple of years started using Hevi-Shot Magnum Blends in my 20 ga. Benelli. IMO TSS is way to expensive.

I have enough that my grandkids will be hunting with hevi 13s long after I'm gone. I just bought 2 more boxes of 3 1/2 #7s 2 weeks ago, looks like old stock.

That's a real shame. I've always shot lead and copper plated. This was the first year I tried any HTL and was shooting Hevi 13 #7 out of both the 12ga and 20ga. Both patterned exceptionally well. Was really impressed with the 20yd patterns, and they held good on out. Seemed much more consistent and even than the Winchester lead loads I'd been running. Crummiest part is that they're canceling amidst an ammo crisis meaning we most likely won't be able to go buy up a few cases to shoot in the coming years.

Kinda indifferent about this. The 7's shot better than the 6's for me but it seems like the consistency from all hevi13 shot to shot was pretty poor. Mag blends were decent out to 40 but were outshot by a large margin by longbeards.
I guess it will make purchasing decisions easier.

HEVI got bought out by Vista Outdoors so I would expect to see lots of changes coming.
