Hevi-13

[69beers]

Anyone tried these yet? If so, what were the results and what choke did you use?

[War Wagon]

I have seen it at several gun shops just have not bought a box yet. One guy at work says it works really good out of his 870 with a Kicks choke.

I used hevi-13 last year on turkey and had supper results useing it.I shot a turkey at 65 yards(measured off) using hevi-13 6s and droped him stone dead. I used LT Mod by Briley in my SBE11.I`m on the Hevi-shot web site with my turkey from last year.You should give it a try I think you will be glad you did.It patterns great at 40 yards with 6s and 4s and I can say even farther if you need it.Good hunting and be safe,Boo

So who can I order heavi-13 from

[mudhen]

Cabelas.

Use the same choke you would for HS - more open.

I get much better patterns from Winchester's XR in tighter turkey chokes.

I have tried the Hevi-13. I love it. I shoot a SBE2 with a Pure Gold turkey choke tube. On paper I have very impressive results out to 70 yards but, more improtantly I have one shot kills at ranges from 10 to 60 yards. The 60 yard shot was on a turkey that was flying after I bumped him walking out. I used the 3in. #6 shot shell with 1.75 oz. of shot. They prefomed very well in my friends 870 also.

I love the stuff. Word on the street is that there is going to be a higher velocity version in the near future. The current speed of 1,090 fps is a little low for my taste, but I can't say too much because my freezer has a lot of meat in it from those "slow" loads!

Choke wise, my two Benellis, and my 870 seem to love the two Primos offerings: The Tight-Wad, and The Jelly Head

I still love H-13. I shoot it in 12 gauge 3.5" #6's, SBE II, Jellyhead .660, for the most part. It is my favorite early season load.

Later on in the season and on road trips, I tend to go with the Win XR's in #6's and #5's. Higher velocity for a little more yardage.

I've yet to kill a bird with my 10 gauge BPS and H-13 #5's, but this may be the year

[bamaslama]

what kind of patterning did you use with your pure gold choke? I just bought one for my sbe2 and am wondering what other shells do well out of it.

[Flhawghuntr]

Never have used it but I have used the Nitro Hevi shot which IMHO is the best on the market and yes it does cost quite a bit more.
