Title: Shot some Federal HW #7's
Post by: Old Gobbler on March 04, 2012, 11:02:51 PM
Shot some Federal HW #7's today , it was real windy but let one rip out of my PG 690 - it shot a 150 , Ill try a few other chokes, but I will tell you this .... those #7's shot straight through the 3/8  plywood like it was nothing ,I mean every single pellet blew right out the backside - I dont even think #4 leads could do that at 40 yards - its some very hard hitting stuff  -

I tested out my sons 20ga with EM magblends and it could only bust through the ply at 30 yards but not 40 yards

ill try and take pictures for you guys

I figured it would have put more in the circle with sevens. I got some nitro sevens to try be interesting to see what they do!

Those are a denser pellet. Not too high on count due to weight but they rock on both ends

shannon, i shot my first pa bird last year with fed cp6's with the fcw after i was averageing about in the 170-180 range and dead is dead.in the mean time i ordered the 7's to try after the 6's did that good.last day of the pa season at 50 plus steps i got #2 with the 7's and ive never in the life of me after 52 other beards on the wall saw one go down so hard.i can not imagine how hard these reloaders with the tss are hammering the birds.good luck in florida.
