Question about Winchester Extender Range ?

[ILIKEHEVI-13]

Well I'm not downgrading a particular load or shot.  What I said is what most people have said that have shot both.  I have no desire to even try them.  But I do know they are a very good load.  I'm not knocking them one bit.  Like I said shoot what you wish.  If you got 100% confidence in your load, who am I to tell you they suck and that your blind for shooting what you shoot.  That just ain't what these forums here are about at least I don't think they should be.

The main question I have is will the Extended Range Winchesters shoot a denser pattern than the lead Winchesters? I have several chokes that shoot Winchester Supremes very nicely but was hoping the HD's would thicken up the pattern.

Yes

Thanks guys! I have enough heavy shot to last this season but I think I should try the Win Extended Range. Like I said I have some chokes that really shot the Winchester lead shells really nicely before I went Heavy Shot crazy.

I went from shooting 101 @ 40 yds to 179 @ 40 going from HV 6's to XRHD 6's in my 870 SM.

That's an improvement of 56%!

Wrong Brad..... As you know I am getting 299 in 10 with my 870SM and H13 #7's.  But I dumped the H13 and switched to the Winchester HD's for one main reason. I want a shell that hits like a Mack truck and I want a shell that I feel confident that will "consistently" hit like that Mack truck. Although the H13 may put up bigger numbers it isn't capable of the energy of the Win HD and isn't a "consistant" performer like that as the Win HD's otherwise why would you guys always need to be searching for lot #'s on those H13's.

I'll take fewer pellets in 10 for a Consistant Hard Hitter any day of the week over the H13.
lol
agreed

Your blinded by numbers on paper. You guys are Drunk on the H13 Koolaid!!!

Now that's the kind of news that makes me want to try them !!

i shot the XR for a few years with pretty good results and killed a few birds with them, i switched to Hevi 2 years ago just do to the increase in pattern i got. I was only getting 120 at 40yds with the XR 6 shot but was getting 165 with the hevi 6 and 245 with the hevi 7's

was a no brainer to switch to it. I did like the XR though and it is a very good shell for killing birds.


However if you think XR are not going to have the same "lot # issues" that hevi has then you are kidding yourself. Anything produced in mass quantities will have these issues period.


Now to answer the original question...............Yes
