acmf74 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I know that Hevi shot is harder then lead but softer than steel. Other than that are there any other pros of Hevi-shot over lead? Does it pattern better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyhntr Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I think the advantage is that you get more pellets on target with #6's and if Hevi #6s have similar knock down power as say a lead #5 then you get more volume with the same knock down power allowing you to shoot farther. I shoot Winchester HV#6's out of a Belelli Nova with a jellyhead choke (.655). awesome patterns at 40yrds. Then I shot a turkey at 40yrds in Kansas last weekend. he never even flopped. I'm sold. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyhntr Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 one more thing. check out Mudhen's patterns under the "I'm a benelli fan" post. I think they speak for them selves. Again good luck deciding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I guess if waterfowl Winchester ER HD's will penetrate 3/4 " plywood at 50 yds you can imagine what a #5 or #6 Turkey rounds will do and old Tom will not like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
