Havnt shot the Hevi yet but after reading all about it on here I had to order a couple boxes! Cant wait for their arrival! Im heading to Nebraska April 21. Cant come soon enough. Good luck in Kansas, another great turkey state.
I shoot the hevi 13 magnum blends. I am very impressed with the performance. I will be up in Northeast Kansas On April 14th. Gonna try to down 2 more birds with the magnum blends !
i've used hevi-shot since they have come out..up to 50 yard kills at a gobbler leaving town (so to speak) but he never got on his flight lol... bought some hevi-shot 5,6,7 mag blend shells for my grandsons 20 ga..guess we will know how they do after i take him out this season,,,we hope lol

Yep, I am going to use Hevi - 13 Mag Blend 5.6.7's this year also. :z-guntootsmiley:
I agree the mag blend is a awesome load!!
I switched to Hevi-13 last spring, and I will never shoot anything else. The stuff is absolutely fantastic! I'm shooting 3" 2oz #6's
:icon_thumright:
Love those Hevi-13 7's!
I like the Hevi-13 #7's as well.
Iam going to give it a try next year the Heavy 13 #7's But A buddy shot the Heavy Shot Mag Blend and loves it, so I have some options, What is the reason for using 7's on Heavy shot? I with 5's this year and could shoot out to 55 yards.
More pellets, MUCH better patterns, better performance all around. And they are still deadly from 50 yards and in. Shoot a patterning board with the hevi 5s and then try 6s and 7s. you will see
147 pellets in a 10" circle at 50 yards with Hevi 5s is almost unheard of!!! If that is what you are getting and it's a good, even pattern, then stick with that.
Used mag blend last year, patterned #7s this year and was impressed. I really think mag blend or straight 7s will do the job.
Thanks honker22
Will be looking for some aas the sales should be startin up Here, season is almost over, 4 me it was over day 1 in Indiana.
I have been using Hevi 3.5" 2 1/4 6s in my 870 the last 3 years and it has been deadly. I have also used the mag blend in my berretta A391 with good results as well. i can get a better pattern out of the 6s compared to the mag blend. It is the best IMHO
love hevy shot 13 #7 I got 276 pellets at 40 yards in a 10 inch circle.That was befor I Polish my bore
Hey guys, just so you know there's a sale on these loads at Cabelas.com and in stores. Also, there's the $5 rebate ($10 total, two boxes) per household. I purchased 12ga 3 1/2" for $22.99 + tax so after rebate it's going to be $18.99+tax. Not too bad for some (from what I hear) nice loads. It's only for 5 shot shells though, so its on the more expensive side...but again, for these loads its a good price IMO.
Happy Hunting!
Thats a good deal at Cabelas. I also have some point money I may cash in.
My gun likes MagBlend. 223 hits at 40 yards out of my Winchester SXP with an Indian Creek choke. I got a Kicks .670 on sale and I need to pattern it. I only shot it one time with an old Federal #6 2oz. 3" copper plated and got 320 hits at 35 steps!
