Remington Hevi Shot for Turkey ?

[Davemuzz]

A few years ago I bot Remington Hevi Shot for Turkey in #6 shot. I know I did this because I shot 2 turkey with these 3" shells, and I use a few to pattern my shotgun with and I have a few left.

Now, these are Remington shells. They are green....they say "Remington" on 'em. There not the new brand called "Hevi shot".

Ok, I've looked around on the internet and can't seem to find these shells for sale by anyone. I think Graft had 'em but only in 3.5". Did Remington quit making these or do a joint venture with someone else?

Any info would be appreciated. I do (or did) like these shells. One shot kills on both birds.

Remington started making their own version of Hevi-shot and called it "Wingmaster HD" shot.

Hevi•Shot™ is made by EnvironMetal LLC. EnvironMetal® contracted with Remington® to produce, market, & sell Hevi•Shot under their name, (Remington®); as a faster way to introduce their product to the market place. This was done for 2 or 3 years while EnvironMetal® geared up their production facilities. Once they (EnvironMetal®) were up & running they allowed their agreement with Remington® to lapse. EvironMetal® now sells directly to distributors as Hevi•Shot™. Remington® not wanting to loose their market share now market their own version of Hevi•Shot™ under their brand as Wingmaster HD™ (High Density); albeit more expensive than Hevi•Shot.
