I bought my first box of Hevi Shot today 3 1/2" 2 1/4oz #5. I assume the # on inside of box lid is the lot#.  #3000003 is it one of the good lots or bad?
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

That's why guys buy 6's and 7's instead of 5's in hevishot/xtended range.

I may try 6's if I can find some local. The great State DE don't allow us to use 7 shot

You need to go to #6 shot. You are negating the benefits of the Hevi Shot by shooting #5's. The Hevi #6's will hit harder than lead #5's. I would also consider buying another choke if it doesn't pattern well with the #6.

I have never liked 5's in hv shot, I shoot 6 and 7's, try a Jelly head choke, or a more open choke,good luck.
Hunt every day as if it were your last.

Only 1 place had hevi local. Only thing they had was 4 & 5 shot in hevi. Boxes looked old.
