Winchester Supreme Elite Extended Range shells..

[870supermagnum]

I have only been on this forum a couple of days and have noticed a lot of you turkey slayers shoot Hevi 13's.  I have not heard of anyone shooting the Winchester Supreme Elite Extended Range shells.  I know they are high dollar, but is there any other reason for not using them?  I have been shooting the old Remington Hevi Shot shells, but ran out and bought a box of the Winchester's this year.  They are bad to the bone, and beyond.  Just curious.

I shoot the XR in 3.5" #6's out of my 870 SM.

the majority of people on here are die hard patterners and are really interested in the numbers game and hevi 13 wins in that respect, win ext range doesnt give the high numbers like hevi 13 does but they both will kill turkeys the same

There are several of us using Winchester XRHD on this site.  They are great, and most important, consistant shells.

Used in my M2 20ga. 45yds no problem I'm taking the shot with the Winchesters.

I shoot them in MY 835 and BPS.  I like them a lot, but they didn't pattern very well in my remington.  They hit like a sledge hammer.

Im a winchester guy.

They're some hard core loads right there!  Hit hard...and kick harder!   I know my SBE II likes em (bout the only shell I can get it to like) and the bird that got DUMPED at 52 steps last spring will attest to that.  had & hits in his head and only 2 in the crop/ypper body from the bottom of the pattern.  Good stuff...but they need to come with free denyal refferals.

   I will tell you this if Winchester produced the Elite in #7 in 20,12, and 10 gauges they could very well have the best turkey load out there - they already have a cookin velocity all they need to do is get the pellet size to #7's or triplex

They will put up good numbers and will have some very good rang on them.

All winchester has to do is up the payload 1/4 oz. and I would switch.  I really like the 3.5" 6's, but they need that 1/4 oz.

This, along with what Shannon said about adding a dose of #7 shot or a triplex load.

YEP THE WINNY'S ARE GOOD BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE LOOK FOR THE BIGGER DENSER PATTERNS THAT THE HEVI 13 SHELLS THROW.. I SAW NUMBERS WELL OVER 300 HITS IN A 10" CIRCLE AT 40 YDS WITH THE HEVI 13 7'S AND NOTHING CAN TOUCH THEM YET
