[hs strut]

ive got a question for you guys have any of you had a different wad between 2 shells with magnum blends with the one I had 160-170 in the 10'' my second shell only had 110 in the 10'' when I picked up the wads they were 2 different types

I was able to get the shells kinda cheap my main reason for buying these shells was just to have a backup shell brand my main shell is the lb xrs

When Hevi has their stuff together they are a great load...... But I got VERY frustrated with the inconsistency of the product.... When the longbeards came along (at less than half the price) I ditched hevi like a bad habit.!!!

I am done as well. Shot a new lot of 3.5" 6s and the pattern is way down from my old lots. Fortunately I stocked up from the longbeard craze so I am set a while, but my next shells will be nitro

With the straight #7s yes. That's the reason I'm shooting Nitros now and reloading my own next year.

Were the shells from the same box and did you clean the barrel/choke between shells? That can make a difference.

I've never seen 2 different wads come out of the same box of shells.

the barrel was cleaned between shots and was cleaned prior to shooting and both shells came from the same box

Don't be so fast to jump on the nitro train the will vary just as much as the hevi loaded stuff. Shot them for years last year they were absolute junk nitro will never be fired from another in my house again totally unacceptable performance from a shell costing that much. Stocked up on longbeards now for more than half the price wont ever look back. Before I ever shoot nitros again I will buy reloading components and load my own.

Yep I have had the same trouble with H-13, It's to bad but they are there own worst enemy . They could have the Hevi market all to them selves seeing Federal doesnt wanna ditch the flight control wad. But I'm
