Shot me some #7's

I ditched the 6's and our local store got in some Hevi #7's.  My gun runs around 30-50 pellets behind everyone else with the 6's and it did not disappoint with the 7's.  42yds I got 265 in the 10", so around 30-50 pellets behind everyone else.  The density it nice and very even, I have not done a 20" count, but it looks like most of the pellets are in the 20".  I may send the barrel off after season to a good smith and have them flexhone that beast.  I will post pics later.

Lot # 300500


Looks like if it doesn't have a 4 in the lot # they are the good ones.

That's a very good pattern Tom.  Why do you shoot at 42yds?

I don't have a tape measure and I don't want to  cheat and be at 39.  :) 


Another plus, the Hevi7's have the exact same POI as the Hevi6's.

They shoot the same for me as well.

Well Tom I guess you now know what the 7's have over the 6's.   :you_rock:

Killed my frist 2 birds this year with the #7's 44 and 39 yds. Crushed both of them. I am sure you will see the same results :you_rock:
Don't gobble at me...

With all the talk about old and new. I'm glad I ordered a bunch at the end of the last season.

I'm probably going to go buy the other 3 boxes our store has tomorrow.

what would everybody do if they was to quit making the "magic" lots of pretty holes in a piece of paper #7 loads
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

Tom Foolery

I would shoot 3" Win HV #4's which will go 100-105 at 40yds or the 3.5" Win HV 6's which will go 140-150.

Another thing to note about these 7's, they kicked the sheet out of me!  I mean I'm talking Win HV 3.5" kicked.  I looked at the primer and it was cratered and none of my Hevi13 6's are like that.
