Title: Good/bad lot numbers
Post by: 2much2loud on April 09, 2013, 05:38:25 PM

Has anyone had any experience with mag blends with lot numbers 301072 or 301059

Is the lot number on the box somewhere?  I've got the mag blends shooting pretty good and want to ensure the lot number before I go stock up.

I'd also like some input on the lemon lot numbers.

Correct me if I'm wrong somebody, but I think HeviShot stopped putting lot numbers on their boxes.

The lot number on Hevi Blends is stamped underneath the lid as you open the box.

I shot some  201141 3" magblends last Sat.  I shot 2 shells in 2 differnt chokes.  This stuff in my opinion was terrible.  125 and 156 in the 10".  A person could probably get lead laods to do almost as good.

I also shot 1 shell of 301039 3.5" magblends out of my 835 and Star Dot choke that shoots the 3.5" #7 loads as good as any choke I have seen, and I only got 193 in the 10".  Nothing to write home about.

Are there any different variables than the LOT # of the shells that you are shooting? For instance tempature, humidity, the shotgun/choke combo?
