[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4891935, member: 1409"] The 1st generation Federal Heavyweights 20 ga were offered in a 2 3/4" 1 1/8 oz #7 load and a 3" 1 1/2 oz #7 load. With most 20ga set-ups, I believe most would find the 1 1/8 oz load effective out to 35 yds, and the 1 1/2 oz out to 45 yds. Prior to the now "heavier" TSS, the 1st generation Federal Heavyweights were the best commercially available turkey loads on the market. They remain superior to Winchester's Longbeards, Hevi-13, or Magnum Blends. Those 1st generation heavyweights were also my go-to load in 12 ga, were I "liked" the 1 7/8 oz load of #7's (which had penetration comparable to lead #5's). Now, the #9 TSS has penetration comparable to lead #5's. Never mind I suspect most of us will still kill most our birds under 35 yds. [/QUOTE]
