I probably have 15 boxes of those shells 4, 5, 6's
All bought for around $11 a box after hunting season was over.

And now go out and pay $28.99 a box for hevi-13 shells

I bought 3 boxes of 10 back when they came out. I got pretty good patterns with the #5s and the 870.
Like everybody else I jumped on the HVY shot train and never looked back. Killed several gobblers with the Supremes and they were just as dead as the Nitro hvy shot.
If you make everything easy how do you know when your good at anything?

I think some folks have placed lead in a less than adequate category all of a sudden.  Don't get me wrong I love the numbers we are getting with the newer loads.

I think a lot of people never took the time to properly patterns their guns with lead shot anyway.

Very true! Actually I think some folks never really pattern enough to get to know there shotgun. Those Win. supreme's will kill just as good any at reasonable distance in a gun that patterns them well. But honestly if they are $18 a box, I'd pass and just buy some Long beards, and be done with it.
