I stand by all guns and chokes are not created equally.

And I also stand by not all Hevi-13 is created equally. 

I also wanted to say the Haymaker choke shot a good turkey killing pattern, but I have come to know what great shooting chokes will do.  But then again the hevi-13 loads I tried I know weren't the best either.  I think I got a bad lot of 7's that I tried.  And the magblend shells I had were terrible.  I can't believe Eviron-Metal would want to put their name on the stuff I got.  So I can't blame all of it on the choke.  But I got better numbers before with the same lot of #7's in the Super Max choke last year in way cooler temp.

Has anybody tried the Federal HW through a Haymaker choke?

That ought to be it's strong suit, if it has one.

Ain't that the truth, big difference between lot # 300488 and 300325 in my guns! By about 80 pellets at 40.

Sorry Hevi the choke didn't perform well. As we all know all guns are different. To be honest the Haymaker does great in my SBE2. But all I've been turkey huntin with is my M2 20 & Im here to tell ya that it kills just as dead as the 12 ga does.

Good Luck Huntin

Ricky,

Don't worry buddy for I'm not upset at you passing on what worked great in your gun.  I know you are a honest man.  That's why I bought this choke.  I'm glad you like yours. 

I did just get off the phone with Environ-Metal and complained to them about their current magblend shells and some of the #7 loads I have bought.  Mike the guy I spoke with took my complaint and didn't let me get a chance to ask him before hanging up what they were going to do about these magblends I bought that shot so bad.  I ended up calling back and told Lisa about this.  She took my complaint and said that she was going to have Kelly, VP of Sales and Marketing for Eniron-Metal call me.  Well within 5 minutes Kelly called.  I told her who I was and little bit about me and that I have been patterning shotguns and turkey chokes for a long time now.  But she said she is going to get to the bottom of all this.  And I also told her I would hope that her company could go back to making loads like the older stuff that shot so well like the 3.5"  lot # 300325 that shot so phenominal.  I told her I had a lot # and I don't have it anymore of the 3" 2oz #7's that did almost 300 shot in the 10" out of the Super Max .675 choke.  She's like wow.  I told her that the 3.5" #7's lot # 300325 loads would do a lot better yet and told her what I have got with my 835 and Star Dot choke from those loads.  She couldn't believe it.  I told her that everybody that shot that lot # in their 3.5" guns that are pattern junkies like me have said it's some of the best shooting Hevi-13 loads they ever shot.  Now that's what I want Environ-Metal to get back to making.  And guys I will tell you this Kelly is a listener.  And she is very smart on guns, too.  Her dad raised a good one that's for sure.  I must have talked to her for 25 minutes. 

Anyway she is going to send me some more shells for my trouble and a few other items that she wanted me to have.  And I hope that she can get to the bottom of all this on getting Hevi-13 loads back to where they should be for their customers who pay the price for these shells.  She assured me that she was very glad that I called, and that she too, enjoyed the heck out of talking to me.  I told her that more folks at Hevi-Shot should be like her.  She really impressed me.
