And Hell, gas is close enough to two bucks a gallon now so if your gonna spend it to get there might as well not skimp yourself by letting game get away unless it hasn't been hard for everyone to fill a limit of ducks this year.

iron grip,
anywhere that sells the remington hevi-shot should have the 7 1/2's. I got mine from Bass Pro, and Cabelas sells them too - Cabelas is cheaper. I'm thinking I will have to reload to get #9's.

I guess because I'm from the steel generation I just don't get it. I bought a several boxes, and had worse luck than steel, more cripples, and a lot more misses. I assume it's because it's slower and I just couldn't train myself to get in front of the bird. Oh well! On another note:


Have y'all heard of their new product, HEVI-13?
From the email:

Speaking of secrets, we have a new shell coming out! It's in a few markets around the country, but I'm going to spill the beans on this one, too! Our latest innovation is called "HEVI-13™". It's a moly-coated shot that's even denser than HEVI-Shot® - and Way Heavier Than Lead™! This stuff patterns better than HEVI-Shot® and hits like a ton of bricks. But don't believe me: ask the folks at last weekend's South Carolina Still Target Championship, sponsored by the National Wild Turkey Federation. We won! By a lot! Just wait until we compete in national championship in August! But more importantly, maybe we can get some to you in time to thump Tom this Spring.

Stay tuned and help me out with my revenge! If we work together maybe we can get me to Vegas next year!!

I played with some Hevi 13 this weekend. Since the HS waterfowl loads and the HS turkey loads were the same, I wondered what the Hevi 13 would be like. Anyway, I shot a teal at 35 yards with a #6 Hevi 13 turkey load this weekend through a LM choke. Hamburger. Overkill. Not recomended. Stick with regular HS.

Kent Impact

Postby Spottail Chaser » Mon Jan 31, 2005 9:33 pm

Iron Grip,
I only shot about 30 rounds, but didn't have any trouble. Two other friends shot it through the season and really liked it. I don't know if you got a bad box or what. I do know I had some misfires with regular Kent steel shells earlier in the season, but they were old shells from last season that had gotten wet. I forget that not everything holds up like Drylocks or Nitromags. Of course you don't pay as much either. Anyway, the Kent Impact performed well according to everyone that shot it that I have spoken to. Hope this helps.

I was shooting HS 3" #6's with good luck. Killed a teal at 20 yards just as effective as a mallard at 40. I don't think the pattern was too tight and I was using a light modified. Will try the 71/2's next year too.

Is the Kent Impact cheaper?

No, it's called being stupid trying to extend your already 'extended' range. :lol:

Oh so your an "extended range" man :?
I thought that was Chopper's forte'. :lol:

Spottail,
I was thinking that I got a old box or something. I wonder if they would trade them out for me.
At times there is not a satisfactory substitute for well-aimed lead going down range at high velocity.
