I have new shells , older shells (10 round boxes) all of them get the job done. I don't care about lot numbers. The newer shells do put up a few less pellets ,but nothing to be concerned about. All of the shells i have put up fantastic patterns with the Trulock choke. My 3 1/2 picture was from a box that i got from you (skfooter), those shells have taken 2 nice birds. Lee  :icon_thumright:

This one was taken with a newer 3 inch @ 35yds and was devastated. He could not tell if it was a new or old shell. Lee

I don't get as good of "numbers" with the HW's as I do with the hevi's, but the HW's have flattened every bird I've shot at with them.

REMINGTON SM 26" FHW 7's  3".  40 yards in the ten, lazered.

140's with Carlton .640 unported and same for Hevi-choke. 662

Rob Roberts .660 recommended  107 and is unported.

SBE 26" 170's with hevi-choke.

SSX is supposed to be good, style of porting is different from AAShooting Clark.

Sumtoys look good.

Longshanks Hastings looks awesome.

That Hastings .665 non ported seemed to shoot all of the flight control shells from federal fairly well. Killed allot of turkey's with Pb 5's and 6's with that choke out of a 21" barrel rem 870.

I use them in a 3.5 in. 12 game. New england single shot, full ck
Home, with the 3 in get any where from 110 to 130 in10 in. At 40. Never seen a shell kill a turkey as good as these.
Hunt every day as if it were your last.
