If the weather ever breaks I will get out to pattern some of the mag blend. We've been getting some large storms the last few days. I have been taking advantage of the rain shut outs to work on the inside of my shop. The pattern pics are the ones that matter.

Been waitin to see who would be the first to show us these. About how much were they if you don't mind sayin?
Well it looks like a reality---and 2 3/8oz is a sizable payload - Did they say the fps on the box? thanks again and looking forward to the results--Shannon
Where did you buy these, I don't even see them on their site yet?
Gobbler 74 knows people..For sure..Mike
So what week talking 2-3 weeks before official release? They look great figure about 20-25$ box ain't that what the h13 cost? If I was go buy locally they would be ridiculous priced but so is 20$ shipping so either way about 40$ for me but hell I know a guy who is a nitros dealer lol. Still ill probably.order some mag blends . My 12 ga didn't.like them with a. .650 but my 10 ga always shoots better than it might have been overchoked. Ima try them with my. .680 trulok
Hey guys,
These aren't on the shelves yet but won't be long. I'm hoping for a nice shooter, not really a record breaker. I may get to shoot soon. Ive been wiring my building and the rain finally stopped.

yep like this one guy called hognutz..that guy is hooked up. .. ;D
I cannot wait to get my hands on some of them and run 'em through the sp-10 :icon_thumright: Be sure and post us up some pics when you get a chance to shoot 'em
Might get to bust a few this weekend. Shooting brownings. I have a few different chokes. If I get to a good spot where I can turn the electrician loose that's doing some work I will sling a few.
Have ya got to pattern 'em yet, Jim??
Man I put up Insulation all weekend in my new shop. Its killin me that I have not. Teaching hunter safety 3 days this week, starting to finish inner walls hopefully saturday and gotta run to lumber place...I may be able to shoot thursday or Fri evening just a couple rounds so you guys can see patterns. I have a new nwtf Gold light 10 ga that I will be sighting in with those if the rounds pattern decent
Jim,
What is your gut feeling on choke tube constriction w/ the Mag Blends? Have you heard anything on the release of the 7's?
Craig
690 pure Gold...
I am going to run the Rhino .685, .720 too but I'm thinking the PG will be the trick. Now on the 7's, .685 all day long.
I sure would love to see some pattern pics, a local gun shop has a NEF 10 ga I'd like to grab if they do well. I may just have to buy it and take a chance. There's always Nitros!
Nef 10...You hold on Reeeal tight to that one if you fire Nitros through it. :icon_thumright:

GH,
I have a family reunion tomorrow but I think Im gonna head up to the Moor range early in the morning @8. "Sunday". My youngest has a birthday party this evening and I just got done changing oil in two cars and getting a trailor full of 16 ft lumber..been crazy busy not including the weather. Saving that precious vacation time though!
Jim
i'd like to have gone with you to the range, @ the time you posted that you were going i was at the 2011 x-bow shot off and just seen were you posted that you were going to shoot the guns this a.m...... :angry9: damn !!!
i did come in 4th and got a $ 25.00 gift card from cabelas. :icon_thumright:

Well went to the range this morning mainly for the benefit of having a roof for the rain. Sure enough just as I went out to put up target it started..no matter. I was dissapointed when I realized two of my chokes werent in my shooting bag..gotta track them down. The PG .690 was in my gun. This pattern is at 40 in a 10" circle. I was pleased to see a lot of #6 and #5 holes when counting with very few smaller holes. If this were a straight 7 I would have been dissapointed with the count from a 10 ga anyway. I like this shell esp for the money. Gotta see how they cycle but plenty of "boom" on this one. I have had better performance with EM shells in other chokes with the 12. I'd love to try the 10 ga IC with the Mag blend. Those combos are deadly in the 12. Now this was point and shoot with no sighting but it gives an idea.

Jim. It is better than respectable. It will be interesting to see what an IC or Rhino will look like. It is not surprising to see that they pattern a little lower than the Nitros, assuming that you were sighted in for them in the first place. Thanks for the info, and keep it coming...Mike
It is a very good honest pattern , Just got to find the magic choke -Chokes can make a big difference , I have nitro triplex loads that shot 250 but when I got a more open choke in there they popped to 340 - again 80-90% of the holes were 7's some even smaller -
Like wise I have had nitro straight #7s that shot mid-high 200's with a open and waked up with a much tighter constriction and got upwards to 380 -
The probability that the MB shell has more potential is likely- the 10 is less finicky that most guns and a good pattern with minimal effort is likely -
I may contact Bill Davis and see if he would like to dial in a custom dia. choke for this load and get the party started
I'd like to get my hands on one of the old .690 Indian creek bds chokes. They ran a few of those. A .710 is pretty much standard now. I emailed earlier today. We'll see. Is hunt with that current pattern all day long. I just like to play too much. Never know what your going to get into
yeah sighted for nitros. every shell I've tested from 20 to 10 shoots lower than a sighted nitro
That looks really good. I'm glad I went on and picked this up yesterday. I almost decided not to buy it until I got to the shop and seen that it has the old school camo and rifle sights mounted on it. Can you guys answer a couple questions for me. 1.) What types of after market choke tubes fit this shotgun? Browning, Remington? 2.) Were these rifle sights added by a gunsmith or did it come from the factory with them?
The rifle sights are mounted well they seem good and tight and mounted straight. I also picked up a limbsaver recoil pad for it. First chance I get I'm going to mount the pad and polish the barrel and forcing cone. Then pattern it when I can get my hands on some of those Hevishot 10 ga. mag blends.
Hey Woodchip,
That shotgun takes the Browning choke, Looks really good hope you enjoy it.
yeep !!! that will do the job on any bird :icon_thumright:

Hey Woodchip
Dont forget to put that Limbsaver pad on before you shoot. That thing will flat out STOMP you. vaturkey :newmascot:
Thats a great pattern, especially since it has the larger shot ixed in and the xtra velocity!
that will take any bird walking out there
Gonna try an Indian Creek .690 in a couple days.
Any updates?
I got an Ic .690 to try. Hope to shoot it soon.
I mean as far as a official release date
I had thought it would be done by now for the mag blends anyway
I keep checking the Hevi Shot website...no news yet that I see. I did see a bald headed fellow on their testimonial page with two big toms that looks a lot like me LOL. I e-mailed Macks Prairie Wings in AR recently and they promise to answer your inquiry in 24 hours....no response from them on it and they carry a full line of Hevi Shot products. I can't wait to get my hands on some of the 10 ga. mag blends...its fall turkey season here and I'd like to just shoot one tom with them to try out.

Let us know how that Indian creek choke works out for you. I currently have a rhino .720 in my browning gold and it patterns great with Nitro shells.
I shot that combo about a month ago..shot great. I posted pics on here I thought.

I have the 720 and the 685 Rhino too, I like the PG and IC patterns with the Mag blends.
What do you think about the .690 Primos Jellyhead for the 10 ga? You think it will be comparable to the IC?
Awesome pattern!! I hope to see more of these patterns soon
:thanks:
