Anyone shoot the heavyweight 7s. Found a deal on 3.5". Normally shoot 3" federal tss but thought might try them for the price.
Until a couple years ago, about ALL I used for turkey hunting was the "old" Federal Heavyweights in #7. Those particular #7's are much "heavier" than Hevi-13 turkey loads. I've seen them shoot completely thru a large Tom's breast at 46 yds.Great shells and as close to tss as you can get at a fraction of the cost.
If those are 1 7/8 oz payloads, they will compare favorably in recoil to whatever 3" loads you've been using (assuming your 3" loads are 1 3/4 to 2 oz payload).Found 3.5 for 14.99 a box. Just don't know if I'm dumb enough to shoot the Roman candles out of a 6.8lb a5
