Title: 3.5" Fed HW 7 30yds 870 SM
Post by: Birdyblaster on March 22, 2015, 01:00:57 AM
I posted a couple patterns the other day looking for opinions and decided to go with the Fed HW 7's this year.  I did a little zero adjusting and came up with this pattern at 30.  I brought the red dot down a couple clicks and I think I should be good.  I'll try to get a 50 yard pattern in the next week or so just to see what it looks like.  I can't wait to see how these shells perform in the woods because I've heard great things happen when you get them to pattern!

Wow. That's a killing machine. Is your POA at the center of the circle? If so, that's perfect. Good luck.

POI was center of the head.  I moved it down a little so should be right on now.  Forgot to mention I'm shooting a Trulock HW 7 choke and this shot was through a slightly dirty barrel.

I killed the first bird I've taken with this load last Tuesday and it was the hardest hit turkey I've ever seen. The shot was only 23 yards so not much of a test but the bird looked like it was hit by a truck and didn't even twitch after hitting the ground. There was blood and feathers sprayed on the ground and trees for 20 feet past the bird.

I shot 1 at 40 and 1 at 50 with 175 and 96 respectively. Temp was right around 50 degrees.
