Good things come to those who wait

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.

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.
