Title: Federal HWT 6s
Post by: SCDieselDawg on May 05, 2013, 12:19:16 PM
Anybody shot the Heavy Weight 6s. I know the 7s are awesome but I've found a local supply of the 6s and that's all they have in Hwts and they are cheaper than everybody else's HWTs.

I have. They put up a 110 to 120 type pattern for me depending on choke. I'd shoot them.

I've used them the last few seasons and really like them. They pattern very well out of my Browning BPS.

What choke? I'm shooting a Remington. I know dads Magnum 1100 LT-20 shot barely over 100 with the RSF and the SSX was pitiful. Im gonna try the factory full to see if it makes a difference.

Carlson's .575 non-ported Hevi-Shot approved choke does the best for me with that particular load out of a Remmy 870 with a 26" barrel.

Rhino 670 out of my Browning BPS. I called Rhino and they recommended this restriction for the gun.

Time out - You are in the 20 gauge section and using a .670 choke?
