Rick618 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I tried a box of the hevisteel by Hevishot and it would not fully cycle the round out of the magazine after firing the one in the chamber. Called Hevishot from the pit in AR and spoke with a very nice lady that informed me that the shells were made to the upper end of the samsi specs and the beretta/benelli guns were made at the other end of the specs. So, currently the shells will not cycle in the guns as they are a tad too long. They will fire and eject the spent hull. She offered to send me some replacement hevishot.

cdogg44 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 She offered to send me some replacement hevishot. [/QB] I'd sure take her up on that. Seems like everyone swears by Hevishot, but $#*%, it's $2 a shell! Whereabouts in Arkansas were you hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeshot Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Rick618, Which Benelli model are you using with the Hevi-Steel and which shot shell of the Hevi-Steel? Regards threeshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick618 Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 It's the M90, and the shell is 3" 1-1/8oz #4. The 3" stuff will cycle in a 3-1/2" gun with no problem, dont know if they had an issue with the 3-1/2" stuff not cycling in a 3-1/2" gun though.

Choclabman Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I wouldnt waste time with Hevi-Steel. I bought some 3" 1 1/8 32 and #4's. A store in Bridgeport, AL had some in stock. Could not get decent patterns thru a SBE II or a BPS. It was also some of the dirtiest ammo, I ever seen. Pure blackpower isnt too far behind. No problems with ejections, however I think money is better spent on other shot shells.
