[QUOTE="Broken Brow, post: 511237, member: 34141"] [FONT=Arial]Hevi-13 is suppose to be straight 7’s, but the pellets are not always real uniform, so you could argue it is a mix. I have seen the Hevi-Shot in 7.5’s.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]A lot of people think 7’s are too small. I did too before I tried them. If you were talking steel or lead 7’s I would agree that your range would be reduced, but the H-13 7’s are actually a little denser than lead so they penetrate better than lead 7’s.
