Has anyone seen any of the Hevi-Shot Classic Doubles shotshells for sale? Per there website they started shipping product on 9/26. I would like to know the case price and if anyone has shot these shells.

Two weeks ago, I was told by my local gunshop that it would not hit the shelves here in Canada for 4 or 5 weeeks.

Local shops don't carry them, because nobody wants them.
Don't worry soon some rich American businessman will start importing Eley Bismuth cartridges (Maximum, Alphamax, Grand Prix, Crown Squire).

Hevi-Shot classic doubles is available through Cabelas, Bass Pro, Macks Prairie Wings etc. RST bismuth loads should be available soon, 10b. is ready now. No pressure worries but expext to pay 60$ + per box of 25.

When you say no pressure worries, does that apply to Both Hevishot and RST?

I was referring to RST loads. The only info I have seen on Hevi-Shot is velocities from 1300-1250 ft./second.

Well I have checked Cabelas and Macks Parrie Wings website and neither of them have them listed (as of the other day). I guess I need to call them. Most shotshell companies don't list pressure values, to me pressure values are as important as velocity.

So are the RST Tungsten shells simillar to Kent's TM shells?

I spoke to a rep with Hevi-shot today and after a 5 min disertation on gun care and storage I was told that these loads were within SAMMI limits. They also stated that any gun that I would shot regular trap loads in would have no problem with there shells. I then asked since you publish the velocity at 1250 pfs you should also know the pressure value. I was promptly told that they do not publish pressure values. Since I am careful what loads I shoot anyways I don't guess I'll be buying any for my 100 yr old Parker.
