jesse8953 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Anyone used HEVI-Shot HEVI-13 Magnum Blend Turkey Loads? $30 for 5 shells! How far of a shot can you take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I use the federal heavy shot #5 3 and 1/2 " 12 Ga. shot toms out to 70 yards with an Undertaker choke tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinwise Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Wow $30, that is the highest I have ever heard of! The last one's I bought I got through Cabela's for a little over $20; hevi-shot also has a $5 rebate on a box up to two boxes. I use the Magnum blend 3 1/2's and have found absolutley nothing that compares to the pattern I get with them; I am also using a hevi choke tube. I have patternend them at 55 yards and feel like I could easily take a gobbler down but I would not like to have to shoot that far. I have patterned federals, winchesters, kent, remington and spent a lot of money doing it as well, nothing even comes close to the pattern with hevi shot or the penetration that you will get with these loads. I am shooting these through a SBE II. Make sure that if you are using these loads that you are not shooting them through a stock full choke as they can bulge the barrel of you shotgun. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 with my setup, Benelli Supernova and Puregold turkey choke, i can get tighter patterns with some other loads. Hevi-13 I can get to throw the most even pattern. Haven't tried enough of the magnum blend. pretty expensive stuff. I think you benefit more from it within 40 yards with more pellets and knock down power. after that i'd rather have more deeper penetrating pellets, than smaller filler shot that's not as lethal at distance.

Ethan Givan Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 You wont find me paying that kind of money for five shells. I have always used Winchester supremes #5s in both my shotguns and they do a great job. They havent failed me yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustinwise Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 $43 for Winchester Supremes at Cabelas for 10 shells. Hevi Shot Mag Blends online can be bought for $24 with a $5 rebate so they are actually cheaper. You sure won't find me shooting shells that cost $4.30 a piece plus taxes; especially when they don't pattern very well out of 3 differnet shotguns that I own.
