They are junk, plain and simple. Have any patterning results?

they would be hard pressed to be a good tree rat load, certainly don't need to be shooting them at turkeys
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

yep seems like that is the consensus

I wonder if they actually tested those loads after they ran a batch.  They are just about plain awful.

Seen their advertisement pictures. That was enough for me.

Garbage. Nothing else to add.

I'm an HTL guy and would never buy anything lead.  However, I recently traveled out of state to hunt with a friend, I used one of his guns and all he had was this Hornady #6.  I killed 3 birds over a few days... approx 18, 35, and 40 yards... all the three birds dropped in their tracks with only one shot each.
I would personally never buy this ammo... but it had me thinking..

Did you check the pattern,also what choke was in the gun.

No disrespect but I've been doing this a long time, never shot them w anything but lead. Not hornadys, they stink but as you saw lots of birds die from lead shot.
I just recently started toying w mag blends n they're decent and prob more decently priced than others but all that's in my vest for the opener, a week away, is lead

non taken. You can shoot them with a sling shot if that's what you want. But for my guns... nothing but HEVI or HTL #7 in a nice little 20ga package.

Never could get a good pattern out of the Hornadys.
