Was wondering if anyone has tried these shells and how much they are?
Sum Toy has been shooting them with incredible results.. Price is about 18 bucks for 10...

Been having good results, but not as good as the Hevi shot shoots.. It is cheaper though.
Can you please show me a Hevi load of 2oz 6s that produces 250 in a 10 inch circle....

Gonna be hard to compare 7s to 6s when it comes to total #s. But a $20 box of 10 that puts 250 in the 10" trumps 300 plus, that cost $30+ for a box of 5. After all a dead turkey is a dead turkey!
As always how dead is dead. If you one of them that gets into numbers pick HV13 if you want a dead bird just pick up the lead shell.

It's the ones that don't die that hunters should worry about. About every survey you look at will show about a 20-25% "miss" rate. I figure most of those "misses" are birds that are hit. A couple years back there was a survey on another forum that asked how many guys missed. It was a percentage in that range. Then another survey was done that was limited to guys who loaded their own shells - the vast majority of who loaded HTL shot. The miss rate among those guys was 1/2 the rate of the survey that included everybody.
So, if you want a dead bird, shoot the best performing ammo you can, and make sure you can put the pattern where you want it.
Actually, to be fair, you have to compare the Longbeard #6s with Hevi-13 #7s in the MagBlend- because those have approx the same penetration energy.
