hevi shot wad differences

[Redfish]

I had the same thing happen when I bought some new ones last year and noticed the different wads and lower numbers. Luckily I found a guy on this forum who had 7 boxes of older stuff for sale. Some boxes were the same batch number as my known good ones and I shot a test shot from the other batch numbers and they were all good. I am set for years to come.

I have to agree.
I stocked up on Hevi-13 3-2-7, and have enough shells to last me for almost 2 decades of hunting.
I just wish they would leave that wad alone.I still get roughly 200 pellets in the 10" circle at 40 with my Hevi, but this is considered low for that shell. However, that being said, 200 is still a good number, and my shells are all paid for, so that is what I will run in my rig.
Those longbeards are one special shell though. Homerun from Winchester!

I sure don't plan to buy anymore hevishot the only shell I will be using for a while is the longbeards #4 3.5s
