Polished my gun again and shot it today on a better day. Got some bigger numbers and then some terrible numbers, but those federals are still all over the place. The Hevi 13s out of this gun are consistant and putting up mid 150 numbers. A few from today. The federals DO NOT like my gun to be dirty.

TruGlo Hevi-13 7's look great to me!
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

Ive only shot the hevi 13s three times on two different days, but they stay consistant in the Tru glo.
They put up averages of 161, 155, 161 in three shots. So thats a 158 at 40 average. Here is the problem with that tight of a pattern though
This is the back side of the 161 I put up today. I held it up to the light so you could see my target coming through. I pulled to the right about 2 inches. If I had of flinched a little more that bird was crippled or flying off. This particular bird is dead, but it was close.

With a little tweaking, it looks like you've found a combo that works
With a 10 inch core, yeah, you have to be a little more careful with your shots.
