I did the same and order several boxes today from Buds, and just 10 dollar shipping insured ...as the cheaper places run out , they are just going to get higher ... Box call sounds great...

Greg and Ronnie,
I've shot Hevi Shot for years now.
I'm a little out of the loop concerning the Federal loads. 
Would you guys recommend a different choke for the Federals loads due to the wad, vs Hevi 13s?
Thanks,
Greg

The stock choke in my Weatherby SA459 did really well with them.   I put a Sumtoy 5625 in it and it did even a little better.   Both are non-ported, which is important when using the Fed HW's from what I hear.

Thanks Ronnie.
For years I've shot size 7s of Hevi 13s through a factory full choke in my 870.
It shoots a killing pattern, but I'd be up for testing another load at the range.
Are you going to try the Federal TSS loads?

Yes i will try the New load, but my gun is already setup with scope for the Federal HW 7 and i really couldn't ask for it to shoot any better....The choke i'm using is the Trulock 565 non-ported...regardless i don't like a ported choke...

No.  If I have to go the TSS route I'll just get them from a reloading buddy.   But I just bought a bunch of the Fed HW 7's so I should be good for several years.

Thanks Greg.

I'm glad you mentioned that.  Made me remember I have a pretty good stash of those myself that I had forgotten about.

Why the fuss.  It's a simple fact that improvments happen.  Tss and it's advantages have passed the Fed HW7 loads. 

[guesswho]

No fuss.   It just takes me a while to upgrade on anything.  I just recently got a truck with electric Windows and door locks.   Those old cranks were pretty dang dependable.
