I've always shot the Magnum blend. Gonna give the Longbeard xr and the Federal tss a test this weekend.

Shooting heavier than lead loads has never been about shooting them at longer ranges for me, its been about a cleaner and quicker kill. Say a shell costs 10 bucks, whats 30 bucks over the course of a season in Ga if you are lucky. I spend that on gas each weekend chasing them. Heck, just cut out a couple of 12 packs over the next 2 months.

To me the Hevi just hits harder. Plain and simple. I can use #6s and they hit like lead #4s.

At 30 yards my pattern is the size of a volley ball and there is no where to hide. Makes for one heck of a killing combo.

nope, I have shot several in the back walking off with their head up and it pulls feathers out the breast!
