Hevi Shot

If Hevi is 150 or better with good even then that is my choice. There is no comparison in HTL and lead

I wanted to shoot the hevi shot #6 but I could only get 180 in the 10in. The 7s did so much better so I went with them

[davisd9]

Love the 6s and would hunt that pattern of 180 all day everyday

You would hunt 180 6s over 250 7s? I hunt fields a lot and figured the extra shot would give me some extra yards if I misjudged the distance

180 is more than enough to shoot reasonable distances with some fudge room

diffinitly agree with that.

I would shoot the Hevi #7, but I would like to see both shot at 20 yds before I made a final choice. Both of the 40 yd patterns will kill. Good luck!

Looks like either pattern will be highly effective on turkeys at 40yds.  So, easy choice for me, Longbeards at $2/shot vs. Hevi at almost $8/shot?

^^^This + I would zero that pattern for sure.

This is true.  For me I can kill 4 birds a year in TN, so that means I spend $40 in ammo, send in a $10 rebate which brings me back to $30 for 4 birds.  I'd spend $6 a bird to get the best performance I can get.  I can't see worrying about $2-$3 on the only piece of equipment you have that makes contact with what you are trying to kill.  Like a lot of guys on here I've killed them with 4', 5's, 6's in lead and hevi 6's and 7's.


Either will work but for my money I like the performance of one much better than the other. 

Neither choice is a poor choice and both will crush birds at sane ranges.

Definitely the HS, many more pellets in the 10-20 circle where your wiggle room comes into play.
