gonna try and pattern some #6 when it warms up a hair, but not sure what numbers most are getting with them in a 3" shell...i shot a bunch of #7 last year so i know the numbers i am looking for and getting in those but just never really looked at numbers for the 6.

I have an IC 665 already and I just had William at sumtoy send me one of his to try in a 670. I happen to get a few boxes of 6 and 7 hevi shot to test out of them and see which one i like more.

i know numbers are a personal choice and anything over 150 is pretty good but trying to get idea of what to expect from #6.

the 7s shoot pretty good at 250 in a 10" at 40yds but seeing what other chokes and shells might be able to do out of my stoeger 2000

shot some out of a mossy 500 and was at 212...id say you should see 200+

250 is pretty dern good for the 3" 7s tho

shot blends and 7's last year.. gonna try 6's this year too

if I can get 100+ in 10 at 50 yards I will probably roll with them this year

Well a lot of it will depend on the shell and how small the shot size truly is.

That's why I said 180 for the norm.  You might get some 200.  But I don't think that will be the norm.

But the ones I had may not been the same as the ones they are loading now.  My hunch is they are putting more probably #7's in the ones now to increase the numbers.

I got around 170 last year out of a Benelli M2 and IC .665

When I was shooting them in a 1300 21" pipe with a .675 non-ported Under taker I was averaging 170 and the best I got was 196.

I shoot the Hevi-13 2oz 3"#6's out of my 870, and I use the Hevi SHot choke.  I got 181 in a 10" cirlce at 40 with this set up.

3" 870 Shell Shucker

With 3" 1.75 Ounce #6 Hevi13, I got:

159 in an INV+ Star Dot
157 in a RemChoke .665 Pure Gold
155 in a RemChoke .665 Indian Creek

The few 2 Ounce #6's I tried were no better.

The .665 Indian Creek choke gave me 180 with 3" Magnum Blend at 60 degrees, and 294 with 3" Hevi13 #7 at 90+ degrees.

In general, I believe Magnum Blend is as good or better than Hevi13 #6. 

Hevi13 #7 puts up crazy numbers.

should have very good numbers, more than enough for a clean kill.
