Guest huntingbuddy Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 How many of you have used this is it worth it? I dont own any rifles just shotguns, I am a big time waterfowler and pheasant hunter. Is this stuff worth the $30 a box price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Anywhere I can still use lead, I use lead. For waterfowl Hevishot gets the nod over steel. IMHO, the Federal High Density stuff is even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest huntingbuddy Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I am not really looking for a something to shoot waterfowl with, I use steel and have been extremely happy with it. I am looking for something I can put in the shell holder on my stock, in case I get a coyote in front of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captkb44 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I personally haven't tried it yet, mainly due to the $$$$. Everyone I have talked to that has used it says it works great. Sorry I am not any more help than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudowner Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hey Leo its against Federal Law to shoot migrating birds with lead shot! That includes ducks! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Don't use steel for coyotes unless you just want to just educate him. The stuff is worthless. It's to light. What Leo is saying is use lead shot and I agree. BB, #2, or #4 buck would be good. Copper plated BB is freeking awesome if you can find. Waterfowl non tox loads are great. BB, BBB are perfect and will definately roll a yote but they are expensive thats why lead is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper plated BB is freeking awesome if you can find. You read right. I agree on Copper plated stuff as well. The expensive non-tox stuff won't kill those yotes any deader. I am well aware of the lead ban. When I'm hunting something with the lead ban on it , I can't use lead. Simple as that. Hevi-Shot and Federal high density are Tungsten-iron alloys and are absolutely legal for waterfowl. I bring that up because some folks think that because the stuff is heavier than lead it must have lead in it. It doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
