Title: Weatherby SA-08 with new Apex Greenleaf
Post by: cassga on March 06, 2023, 08:28:00 AM
I picked up a couple boxes of the new 20 gauge Apex Greenleaf 9/10 blend in Nashville and got around to testing it out this weekend. This is through a Sumtoy .562 at 40 yards. I quit counting after 300.

That will kill a lot of turkeys.

I can remember the days when even a ten gauge could not put half that into a ten inch circle. Now folks are hunting with 410's and 28's. A lot has changed.

The little 10's sure do bring the #'s up. Im sceptical on using them for turkey hunting. Not that they wont work but Id bet its not too fun picking them out of the meat.

Didn't check 15 yards, but I suspect there's not much room for error! I do run a red dot to help with POA

I shot the Greenleaf blends last year. I killed two mature birds and my nephew killed one using them. There were numerous breast hits but I didn't find a single pellet, they went all the way through. I've picked a bunch of lead #5's and Hevi-13 #7's out in past seasons.

As previously mentioned be careful with those closer shots. In the heat of the moment your mind set must be like you are shooting a rifle.
