However I do not believe they pack the punch of other loads. I've went back to #5 lead, simply because from my experience out to 40 yds. with a good patterning gun #5's flat out smash turkeys. None of the birds I ever shot with hevi 7's were hit with comparable energy that lead #5's did at comparable yardages. To me, this only makes since. Lead has a tendency to squish or flatten out somewhat when it hits something there for expending its energy on that object. Htl is much harder, which helps it penetrate but not expend much energy. Now take those hevi 7's doing 1090 fps and compare that to a load of #5 lead doing 1300 fps. Like I said, these are my observations and opinions. With that said, we all know what they say about opinions! One thing is for sure, for factory loads they are no doubt the king of paper killers.That is why I shoot Hevi 6's! They smash turkeys! I am long time believer in Lead 5's and if I buy Win HV I will buy 5's, but all my blue/gold Fed's are 6's.

Quote from: Big Gun on April 04, 2013, 12:00:15 PMThe two turkeys in my avatar we shot on Saturday. Both were shot at 32-34 yards, one was shot with a 3.5" 4x5x7 Nitro blend, BPS, Rhino tube and the other with a 3" hevi metal straight 7, 935, hevi metal tube. The straight 7 turkey hit the ground and hardly twitched, the Nitro turkey flopped and flopped. Both were shot with scoped guns off sand bags. Made a beliver out of me.
