I know a bunch of guys were happy with the patterns they were getting with this load before season so I was just wondering how they actually performed during season?

I have been using the 5,6,7 Magnum blend, and it does a helluva job!

My dad & I use them as well, and are very pleased.
However, we did have two shells that it appears the crimp failed. One, we didn't notice until the shot. It sounded like a pop gun. Luckily my dad got a second shot.

The last 6 birds I've killed have been with the Hevi 7s and so far I have zero complaints about them.

I have shot the hevi 7s since they first came out a few years ago. They are awesome shells and I don't plan on ever switching to something else.

Thanks for the input I also have been using the Mag Blends, 5's and 6's. Thinking about just going with the 6's next year if I dont switch back to Nitro.

killed all 6 of mine this year with the magblends and it put them down with ease. I shot 7's last year with great results though.
