Personally I would scooch the hevi 7's a hair left and call it good. To me it seems a little more even and will be a little less tight up close. They are both great patterns tho. Really not a bad choice with either.

I agree, both look good.

Your Hevi-13 need to move to the left; and then it will have my vote and good to go.

I also would agree move the Hevi 13 to the left and that would be my vote.

[WNCTracker]

Seems like the hevi's have it. I like the looks of it to the right of the bull as well. I am surprised at the count though after reading about people's patterns with my same setup. I wonder if the #6 shot would do worse or just the same.

[coyotetrpr]

For what its worth I would choose the longbeards for two reasons. 1 being the pattern was nearly as good if not as good, even if the hevi was shifted to the left. 2 being the price of the longbeards is way cheaper the last time I checked. Money may or may not be an issue in your descision, but I personally cant justify that much extra cost for not that much extra performance. Just my opinion, but the fact remains either pattern you choose will smoke a turkey. Happy hunting.

Try hevi 6's. My pattern is beyond impressive way past 40 yards . IMO 7's is getting just a bit small.

[BowBendr]

The 7's are not too small. Lets not go down that road again...
I will say that 167 in the 10 is really low for 7's. If the pattern was moved up 1-2" and left a couple inches you would be in the mid 200's easily.

I prefer the mag blends. Course the #7's are throwing a great pattern but I just prefer that 3 size combination.

Totally agree with this (by the looks, it will save you a lot of time from picking pellets out of the breast as well..... )

[VaTuRkStOmPeR]

Your pattern is low and right of the bird.  Adjust your sights and it'll improve the numbers drastically.

I'd run the 7s due to pattern density and because they hit harder than the 6s.

[wmn2]

Either one is good to me. If I had to choose, I'd say the Hevi's. A little more open close in than the longbeards.
