I use Hevi-shot magnum blends. So I get a little bit of all of it 5's,6's, and 7's.

Same here

I shoot so much #6 shot in competition each year and know exactly what it will do in my 12 gauge guns, that it's my choice for hunting as well.

Doris and I also use 20 gauge guns for hunting and we'll use #7 shot or #6 shot Hevi-13 with those guns.

Thanks,

Yeah the mag blends are deadly and patterned great for me.  I know there's a lot of gimicky stuff out there in the ammo world but I like the idea behind the mag blends(5,6,7), and as I said they patterned great out of almost every combo I used.

This year I did go with the Longbeard #6's, and again I don't traditionally go with the new "hottest" thing on the market, but these patterned great and I killed my longbeard stone dead at 36 steps this year.  Not that 36 steps is far, but I was confident with that load from 10-45 with the 6's.

I've killed a lot of gobblers with win #6 lead, killed some farther than I should have shot. Hev 13, I like #6, with fed hw #7...all 3 loads are very deadly.
