New Hevi Shot (?)

[vvarmitr]

I was grabbing a quick bite at work in the control room at work last night & sneaking some peeks at my new Predator Extreme magazine when I suddenly let out a squeal of delight.
My partner at the other end of the counter gave me a startled look & said "Wwwhat?"
I said "They've came out w/ Hevi Shot in #4buck loads & in 10gauge!!!!"
He gave me a - - & went back to his crossword puzzle.
He's not the kinda guy that would show up at the LBL.

Forget about buying award winning calls. I know now what I want to spend my Christmas $ on.

I went to their website to get ordering info & they didn't have a dadburn thing about it there.    
Well, I e-mailed 'em & enlighten 'em on their new product, & asked 'em to get me some ordering info soos I could get me some.
I also mentioned that they should have came out w/ #4buck in the first place over the the silly T shot.
They also have 12ga 3¹/₂" loads too.

Hmmmmmmm?  
Not exactly the kind of response I expected.


A Mr. Petty V.P. of Sales & Marketing replied to my e-mail. He basically said I needed to click on some more stuff to get the info. In a polite kinda way.  The info was in a pdf file.
Here is the info....... (Note I tried to enlarge it)

All the stupid stuff you can do on photobucket, but you can't enlarge.    Go figure!

Something to keep in mind is.......Density........Some of the turkey and duck loads of heavy shot can be purchased a little cheaper with the same weight and density.......as well as size.

The folks at Hevishot are a little deceiving on this......If you look at the charts carefully they purposely make it hard for you to do the math on this one......The powder charges can change a tiny bit but the pellets are of the same material and will kill just as dead......They will tell you each is a different material......   No manufacturing facility would go and invent a new material for each animal....
I have done the math on this and argued with them as well......Really look at every load and you will eventually see for yourself.
Sometimes a little slower load is a good thing in my book.

Hey Guys,

I know #4 buck is not allowed at night in WV but I'm not so sure about daytime use. I think there is no law against it in daytime for predators. Now it can't be used for deer and such at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

If I remember right.......your talking about 4 shot......not 4 buck. 

[alscalls]

This is a standard lead shot size chart and Hevi shot is a bit different in size But they are two different shot sizes.

[Huntinfool]

Yeah Al,

After dark in WV nothing larger than #4 shot is allowed.

Number 4 buck is about .24 caliber a duck of a different color for sure.

But I can find no regs restricting shot size for daytime yote hunting!
