I don't think that these are the shells that you are asking about but I shot some of the older federal premium # 4's 2 oz of lead shot this weekend (getting a scope on paper) and they had a nice even pattern. I did not count numbers because these are not the shells I will be shooting while hunting.

I wish someone would post up some pics of patterns from these shells.  I'd buy a 10ga if they done well, probably will anyways if Hevishot makes the magblend like I've heard.  I have a bad itch for a 10ga!!

well i got rained out this morning in ny so i got home and the rain quit for awhile and i shot 3 fed heavy 7's and got an average of 220 in 10 at lazered 40.sp10,ballistics 690 choke.very even pattern.this is the 2nd ballistics choke i have had success with the fed heavy 7's.the other was a .554 in my s&w 20 that ended up getting broke in the process of shooting them and sent it back and can't be fixed.i think im in love with fed7's,the other thing i like is 1300 fps.
