[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 1905868, member: 1409"] Thanks, Buckdead! Sounds like #7 size H-13 would have the approximate per pellet weight/energy of a #6 Win. Ext. Range, or about the same as a #5 regular lead pellet? Because of their "Flight-Control" wads, Federal does not recommend using their "Heavyweights" in ported chokes, otherwise I'd be all over those Federal Heavyweights that are offered in #7 shot. But since they are so [i]HEAVY[/i], there are considerably fewer pellets per ounce ---- I tried some in #6 shot and they seemed to have about the same # of pellets as the #5 shot load of Win. Ext. Range (and produced no better pattern density). I need to get back to hand-loading shotshells and load up some with #8 Tungsten shot! ;) [/QUOTE]
