As some of you mourn the passing of XRHD

If they show back up on the shelves that will be great. In the mean time though I have 80 rounds and that will last me 10-12 years if I am careful.  No more checking my sights with them.  I will check sights with lead loads and save the XR for hunting shots.

I spoke with the Winchester Rep at the Convention today and they have not discontinued the Xtended Range Turkey Loads.  They are just slow shipping out.

Awesome news. 

I just found an old target showing that I got 192 in 10" at 40 Yards with 3" 1.75 Ounce Win XRHD #6 with the temp in the 90's.  28" 870 with Indian Creek .665

By comparison, I've never gotten that many hits with any H13 #6 shell.

That same gun and choke got 190 with a 3" 2 Ounce H13 Magnum Blend with the temp in the 60's.

That same gun and choke got 294 in 10" with a 3" 2 Ounce H13 #7, temp unknown, but probably in the 90's.

Nitro Company is out of #7s. A group of us tried to order and they said they were out

I called 2 weeks ago and they were out.  I ordered a box anyway.  I have 18 rounds so I'm good for a while.
