I have the best luck with 3 inch hevi 13 7's  Each gun is different. Get a box of both and see which your gun likes

I like the H13 3/2/7s ...Close up to 40yds have performed great for me...

I have shot the Hevi mag blends for several years with good results, but just went to the #7's and I will never go back. Federal Heavyweight #7's have been equally impressive.
This was in 20 gauge.

I've tried most all the commerical loads and even taken turkeys with almost all of them. The hevi 6 for 12ga and fed HW 7's for the 20 were always the best performers

X2... i killed a nice bird today..with 20 gauge and federal HW 7....great shell

I like them both. I've killed most of my birds with 7's but Mag blends have worked for me too. Mag Blends seem to have more recoil IMO.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

When you say, "It did OK", what do you mean.  Hevi-7's are bad medicine with the right choke and gun.  What are you shooting (gun and choke)?  Do you have a PIC of your OK pattern?

I like the 3/2/7's.

The Hevi 3/2/7s work great out of my gun.  The Mag blends have only thrown inconsistent patterns through the same gun.  The choice was easy.

Luck counts, good or bad.

Every gun is different but the mag blends put out a more even pattern for me out of my SBE.  My bird I killed Sunday was at 63yrds and dropped it. The thing that sucks is the best thing to do is buy both and see which one your gun likes not what you like. It's a expensive conclusion but worth it.

For me, it's the #7's without a doubt.

What choke did you use with the hw7 ?

Anyways wither one of those loads will kill a gobbler , the mag blends shoot at a faster fps , the #7 I think are 1080 fps

Let the gun show you which one it prefers. Good luck.
