Hevi 6s??? Do you like them?

[TheSportsman]

I tried a few loads today in my benelli sbe with a rhino .660.  The hevi 3.5" 2 1/4oz 6s @ 1090fps shot great. Really surprised me! Anyone hunt with these? Pros/cons?

[Swampchickin234]

Yes.  They will hammer birds.  The only cons I see is price and recoil, but is that not with everything else these days?   Pros?  Find what choke it likes and go ye therefore and thrash noggins

There isn't a thing wrong with the 6's, my only recommendation would be to stock up on that lot # before you can't.

How do you guys stock up on a particular lot#?  I usually buy a few boxes at Cabelas each year.  Lucky if they have 5-10 boxes of each load out at a time.  Not sure if they stock more in back but doubt it.  Do you guys order it and request lot #'s?

[dirt road ninja]

I go open all the boxes at bass pro shop or cabelas and take the ones that match.

I love them and they are all I have used since I started shooting HTL. They pound a bird!

When did you buy the shells and where?

I have a few boxes of the Hevi 3/2.25/6's. Are you guys seeing variations in the Lot #'s with these shells.

YES There has been variations between lot numbers of the same shell's. When did you buy the shells? Can you post he lot number?

I shoot the H-13 3-1/2" 2-1/4 oz #6's and love them. They shoot great in my 870 SM with .665 Jellyhead but I actually hunt with a Rem SF Hevi-approved as it throws a little more forgiving pattern. I found several boxes of good lot #'s at my local Academy for $19.99/box a few years back and left the rack empty. I should have enough for MANY years to come.

I've seen some variation in the 3.5 7's but wasn't sure about the 3.5 6's. I shot one that was fairly sparse.  The 3" 6's and 7's have remained consistent out of my guns.
