Title: Hevi 6's and 1 Win. #5 lead
Post by: joshua on March 16, 2012, 04:08:42 PM
I shoot the 6's hunting and usually running a IC .665. The patterns with the IC average around 190 hits in the 10 with the Hevi 6's. I thought today I would give a Kicks GT I had laying around a try. My guns really dig the 6's and I've never had any of the problems with lot # and different components like some have with the 7's.

I knew my old faithful lead should be around 100 hits with the 5's at 40. This is the first time I have ever counted the lead. Nothing great #'s wise but I have killed alot with this combo from 20 to 40 yds. Sometimes you have to know your limitations.
