I shot a lot of hevi 13 2oz #6's a few years back using a IC .665 through a Supernova.  I saw an average of 180-195 in the 10" @ 40 yards.  Killed quite a few birds with that setup.

I can't give you exact counts but a .660 rhino in my 3" 11-87 with hevi 7's put up real good numbers. Did great with mag blends too. No reason it shouldn't be a contender with 6's. The way the 7's shot, I had no reason to go to 6's tho.

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.
What length barrel, Elk???

wow a thread bump from 2012 lol.  Somebody was looking hard for some numbers haha

Yup, if the folks on Old Gobbler don't know your gonna have a hard time finding the information any where else. Best site I have seen for turkey gun information.

*shot 140's-190's Hevi 13 3/2/6's and they all fall over dead.

*shoot 130's out of Beretta 20 gauge and the Hevi 6's. It will lay them down.

I've shot 3in #6 2oz outta Remington 11-87, 20in barrell with a .660 Rhino and got great patterns 185-190. My favorite is the 3in #7 2oz with the JEBs .655, they put up stupid numbers.

I'd say around 180 for a norm.

I've gotten 185-190 with the 2oz #6s. I'm shooting them out of an 11-87 with a 20in barrel and a .660 Rhino Choke. I've shot some out of the HEVI-Shot choke and got around the same but with the 1.75oz load. These are both at 40yds in 10in circle. Both will kill birds at 40yds no doubt.

Have you patterned the 2 ounce Hevi-13 #6 thru your 1187/Hevi-Shot choke combo??

few years back I would say 200 all day.  The past two years I would say 180 range.  Now we just shot some 3 inch 7s.  They 240 range so the shells may be back to the good side. lol
Tell us just how dead do you want them to be and we will see if we can get that for you.

I agree with William.  With the early production (first two years) of the gold hull 2 oz., 3" EnvironMetal H13, I averaged 205, 6's in 10" at 40 yards w/ an IC .660 in a King Ferry/Ithaca Turkeyslayer.  Evaluating the "newer" shells in the same gun, I average @ 180.  The "newer" H13, 7's, also exhibit a reduction of @ 10% in 10" from the "older" shells (first year of production of the 7's.)  I sure wish EM would go back to their original gold hull production components despite their claims that, "Nothing has changed."
