What's everyone been getting pattern wise out of the new hevi metal ?

I doubt you'll find many people here shooting hevi metal for turkeys.  Those shells are half hevi shot and half steel.  Steel is significantly less dense than lead and is a terrible material for turkey loads.  I don't even know why they make those in turkey loads.  Waterfowl they're great, but turkeys, I wouldn't even try them.

Ok that's what I thought, love my hevi13, just was wondering if anyone had tried em

If it's got steel in the load then you can't run it through turkey chokes.

Here's a link to an article from 4 years ago but the information is still relevant. http://allaboutshooting.com/article_info.php?articles_id=575
