i used Remington and Federals for years with great success but they just cant show me the patterns at 40 that Hevi13 do

Been shooting 3.5" Winchester HV #6's since they came out.  I may switch to Hevi at some point, but I haven't had any issues killing turkeys with that load, so I've not switched over.  There is no denying that the Hevi patterns are quite impressive, but I always figured......."sort of dead" was a lot like "sort of pregnant", and the HV's have been doing a good job of making turkeys "sort of dead" for me.

Hevi-13 in 3" 2 oz #6

Post by: savduck on February 07, 2011, 09:08:40 PM
Had some bad luck with Nitros....despite lots of others having good ones. Dont care for federals. Winchesters have always out performed all the others from most of my chokes and guns. Do have some H13 2 oz 6s that pattern great but they are slow.

Winchester extended range sixes for me.
