Title: 2 3/4 vs 3 Federal Heavyweight 7 20ga Federal Rebates
Post by: agturkey on December 29, 2012, 07:22:06 PM
Anyone pattern any of the 2 3/4 vs the 3" Federal Heavyweight?  What are your differences in numbers...I came across some of the 2 3/4 marked down today and wondering if I need to go back and buy them all or leave it be.  Just curious...and before one says buy some and try...I am out of town where I have found it so its one of those to I buy it all or buy a few boxes.

Would like to see federal offer up some rebates soon on the heavyweight...that old one that was $7.50 per box was nice but outdated...

I havent. I bet it would be decent if you found the right choke.

Here are a few of the Federal HW 2 3/4 through a Remington Super Full choke.  This load is NOT a 40 yard load, but is fine out to about 30 yards.  It is great for young children.  You should be able to search for some 3" patterns as they are deadly at 40 with the right choke.

124 in a 10" at 30 yards.
