I not real big on numbers but I was wandering what good numbers would be on hevi shot #5s. I got 151 in a ten inch circle at 40 yards.

 I would say thats good .

thats a very very good number for 5's, if people think the 7's knock birds dead, then they should see that the 5's do to em

You are good to go. Those 5's are brutal!

151 is great! Hevi 5's would be brutal!

Yeah i shot a bunch today it was very nice about 70 degrees. I got 134 with winchester extended #5s and 183 with the magnum blends. I really liked the hevi shot 5s the best which that pattern surprised me didn't think it would have been that good im shooting a Benelli m1 with a kicks in it I tried a pure gold in it but no good results at all.

3" or 3.5?  With 3" thats awesome with 3.5" its still good but room for improvement.  My Extrema 2 Beretta will average around 210 or so but its probably better than most.  Either way that many pellets in #5 Hevi's will whoop a turkey for sure and you don't have a thing to worry about.  Good luck

150 Heavyshot #5's in the old Remington shells would smoke an old gobbler. I wish they hadn't quit making them I wouldn't have had to change chokes and loads.
