Plan on shooting a Jelly Head .670 out of my Browning Maxus. What shell should I use Mag Blend or Heavy Shot #6's. Both of these shells will be in 3 1/2 inch. :drool:
The only way to know for sure what will work best is to try them both, or other shells for that matter, out of your gun. I good starting point would be to search this site and look at other's patterns with your combo. That is what I did before I bought shells in college. I was too broke to try a bunch of different ones. There are so many pattern pics on this site that you should be able to find something. Just a starting point.
The Hevi #7's should throw a wicked pattern from that combination. :turkey2:
Put "Mag blend" in the search box..All kinds of topics come up on Hevi shot and choke combos. You could spend hours reading.
I'd go 6's over the mag blend. I played with the MB and it seems like it's 90% plus of 7 shot in the target, but without the high 7 like numbers. I'm hunting with the straight 7's this year.
I shoot both in 3.5".
I will go with the straight 6's or even 5's if I think a long shot is possible.
Out to 40, both are pretty good...

I'd go with the hevi 6 shot
I shoot both but with a 835 and I prefer mag blend, but if the patterns are similar I would use the mag blend over the 6 shot.
