Hevi shot lot # differences?

[JohnD.]

I started using Hevi-13 last year in # 6 shot. The hulls were a bronze color so when I bought more this year the hulls are more of a brown color. Are these the same or should I re-pattern my gun? Thanks, John.

Hey John,

It's always a good idea to pattern your gun when you purchase new shells, regardless of the brand.

I've not seen the difference in the "Bronze" hulls however.

All my best this season.

Thanks,
Clark
