Hevi-13 Magnum Blend

[cahaba]

Im shooting a Winchester SX3 26" barrel and am getting 223 hits average at 40 yds. with 3" MagBlends and an .665 IC choke. Im getting 256 average with a Kicks .670. Both patterns are nice and even with no significant spacing.

I'm shooting an 11-87 with Jellyhead .665 and getting 160 plus.  They should give you good numbers with your setup.  The idea that they kick so much harder than any other shot is simply not true.  The word magnum in the title seems to put that in the shooter's head.

I don't see how they do either. Several people have chronographed the supposedely 1090 FPS Hevi-13 loads at around 1200. There's probably not much difference between the two.

I patterned my gun (VersaMax w/Pro Bore .665 choke) with several different shells, and the Magnum Blend won out over all others. I only had one Winchester High Density and it did very well also, but they are like $40 for 10 shells - if I could find them in a box of 5 I would buy them to.

One question - I see the magnum blend comes in 3" (which I shot), and in the 3.5 inch - has anyone tried both to see which patterns best? I haven't seen any 3.5 inch around here - would pattern them if I could find them.

Also, insofar as kick is concerned, I find them a very soft shooting shell compared to some of the others.

I shoot NITRO'S but I will say this, Mag Blends absolutely hurt in a Thompson Center Encore!!!
