Anyone shoot Hevi-13 or Winchester Supreme Elite ? If so are these loads worth the money?

Winchester Supremes 3" #5's
They pattern the same if not a little better out of my gun and are much cheaper. Never had a problem with putting a bird on the ground. Longest shot was out at 46 yards.

I've been going back and forth from Hevi to the Elite. I'm completley out and i'm buying Elite. I'll probably stick to it. I'm really impressed with the loads.

I'm not a fan of the Elite. I used it last year and was not happy with the results. I know guys that love the stuff though. You'll just have to be the judge. I'm going back to lead or Nitros. The Nitros are just so dang expensive!

Rhino choke and Nitro shells..
Dropped a bird last year at 27 yards and he never even flopped. Just dropped. He looked freckle faced from the shot when I picked him up.
Nitros are expensive, but how many shots do we shoot in a year?

Nitros are expensive, but how many shots do we shoot in a year? Depends on how many birds/states, etc your hunting but still Woody your right it isn't that many!  |

I've never shot the Heavy 13, but I have shot Hevishot 3 1/2" #6's for about 6 or 7 years now and I love them. The knock down power and pattern is great, out past 40 yards even. I shoot a Winchester Super x2 and it loves the 3 1/2" 6's. I've shot many other loads from many manufacturers and my gun shoots this load the best.
IMHO, pattern is the most important factor when choosing a turkey load, I don't care if you are shooting a load that supposedly kills birds out past 80 yards, if it doesn't pattern well, you'll cripple more birds than you will carry out over your shoulder.

I still have 3 boxes of the Remington Hevi-shot. Think I'm good for a while. They patterned the best out of my 10 gauge single shot.

What are the Nitros ? Are these Remington and what do they cost?

I don't even want to guess what the effective range of hevi-13 is, but... It knocks em down. I'm heading out with archery equipment this year, but the 13 killed two birds last year for me (one in KY).
