NOPE,
     I wont be changing, pretty damb tired of Federal and "others" changing things, seems to me every time people find a choke that works with there  "internal components, load, shot compound,new fandangle flight control wad", or what ever they dream up they change it again. kinda seems like a marketing ploy to get us to buy new, more..etc etc.  I'm very happy with what I'M shooting in my guns and have plenty to last me a long time.      just my opinion

Yeah, but those changes are what helps keep engineers off the streets.  The more they design thing to change, the greater their job security.  That's probably a good thing, think about it.  No offense to any engineers here.

I found a couple of loads that really work well through my gun, so I bought a good supply.  Unless I somehow become a bad shot and start missing birds, I should have enough to last me most of the rest of my days.

I will still shoot mag blends when I decide to tote my 12 , which I have no inclination to do. The 20 ga with my hand load #9 TSS is pure devestation out to ranges past what I shoot. Waaaay out past it. I love toting the light weight shotgun  with a soft recoil that hits like a sledge hammer.

Agree - I thought I had enough of the "old white" Hevi 13 to last a lifetime but I guess I don't since I'm now down to one (one shell not one box) of the #6.  I have a few old white #5s but they don't pattern near as well IMO.  I have a Indian Creek .650 that loves the old white #6.  Hope it isn't too tight for the Magblends and straight #7s I should have in hand tomorrow.  We'll see.  Push comes to shove I'll just go back to the old fashioned WW HV lead #5s that shoot just fine with a Kicks Gobblin'Thunder.  Yes - those Federal Third Degree that were the cat's butt for a short time now seem to have run their course. I never considered them since Indian Creek pretty much said "don't bother" if you have a ported choke.

Hevi Shot will be making TSS soon, you can BET on that!
A year from now everybody will have plenty. I'm finally running out of my stock of old white Hevi #6 from 2007 and started shopping around. Cabelas on line had both Magblends and straight #7s in stock with a $10 rebate. $20 max.  Getting a couple to try.
I have always liked the straight 7's
