I picked up a box of Federals last week and wanted to try them out in my 20 gauge. I managed to get off a few shots in between the rain yesterday afternoon, but the conditions were still horrible and the patterns showed it. I'm expecting them to get a lot better with warmer, better weather coming in.
It was 55 degrees and extremely humid for these shots.
Federal Heavyweights 3" 1.5oz #7s
Hevi-13 3" 1.25oz #6s
I was not very pleased with the results of the Hevi 6s in these conditions. A couple weeks ago I had almost 125 hits at 40.
Either one will kill a turkey but I think the Federals will be my go to shell for this season. If the shot doesn't kill him, the wad will. It hit my target square in the turkey head when I shot it at a turkey target.
