Ordered a few boxes to pattern.  Just wondering on what others think about them.  Going to pattern out of an 835 with a Star Dot choke.  Any opinions would be great!  Thanks!

thats a sweet pattern from a cheap choke and the more affordable h13 shells  :icon_thumright:

No better than Win Sup HV Lead.  About 100 in 10" at 40 Yards.

To jump well ahead of Lead in pattern performance, I've found that it takes at least 1 3/4 Ounces of H13.  Why?  I don't know, but I've shot at least 20-30 rounds of the 1 5/8 Ounce shells, and they patterned about 100 in 10" at 40 Yards. 

With the 1 3/4 Ounce shells, it's been 130-159 in several different chokes, and two different guns.  Normally 150+ in a good choke.
