I just ordered some 3" Hevi-Shot "B" loads because I wanted to compare them to the 3" Remington Wingmaster HD BB loads. I was thinking that the 1-1/2 oz Hevi-Shot "B" load would have more pellets in it than the 3" Rem HD 1-1/2 oz BB load. I got the shells delivered today so I opened up a 3" Hevi-Shot 1-1/2 oz "B" load and did not like the looks of the shot or the total pellet count. I have counted the pellets in two Rem HD 1-1/2 oz shells and one of them had 73 pellets and the other one had 74 pellets. The Hevi-Shot 3" "B" load had 73 pellets, this was not what I was hoping for. I knew that in the past Hevi-Shot was very inconsistent in size and shape. I thought they had improved the quality of the shot but they have not. The sizes of the pellets in the Hevi-Shot "B" load look like they very from #4's to T's and some of them are stuck together. The Rem HD BB's are very round and are very close to being the same size. In this picture the ugly dark pellets are the Hevi-Shot and the copper colored pellets are the Rem HD BB's.

[QUOTE="derbyacresbob, post: 777521, member: 17794"] I just ordered some 3" Hevi-Shot "B" loads because I wanted to compare them to the 3" Remington Wingmaster HD BB loads. I was thinking that the 1-1/2 oz Hevi-Shot "B" load would have more pellets in it than the 3" Rem HD 1-1/2 oz BB load. I got the shells delivered today so I opened up a 3" Hevi-Shot 1-1/2 oz "B" load and did not like the looks of the shot or the total pellet count. I have counted the pellets in two Rem HD 1-1/2 oz shells and one of them had 73 pellets and the other one had 74 pellets. The Hevi-Shot 3" "B" load had 73 pellets, this was not what I was hoping for. I knew that in the past Hevi-Shot was very inconsistent in size and shape. I thought they had improved the quality of the shot but they have not. The sizes of the pellets in the Hevi-Shot "B" load look like they very from #4's to T's and some of them are stuck together. The Rem HD BB's are very round and are very close to being the same size.
