RE: Jellyhead ?
Shooting Winchester HV (black hulls) 1.75oz #6's, my best targets were110 pellets in a 10" circle at 30 yards,80 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards, and 30 pellets in a 10" circle at 50 yards.
I do not like a pattern that has less than 100 evenly spaced pellets in a 10" circle at any given distance so to me it was an honest 30 yard gun.

I have found that the Hevi-13 3.5" #6's are not very picky about which choke size you use. I have achieved good results with everything from .655-.690. I bet you will have good success with the Jellyhead and these shells.

RE: Jellyhead ?
Out of several non lead loads I have tried with a Jellyhead choke, the Hevi 13's had the worst pattern. I was using the green hulls. I hear they are not as good as the bronze or whites, but it's all I could find around here.You are not going to have a real tight pattern with the Jellyhead. If you want over 125 hits at 40 yards in a 10 inch circle every time, then don't use the Jellyhead. Just remember though, you don't have to have over 100 hits in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards to kill a turkey.

RE: Jellyhead ?
superstrutter is right; the difference between the green hulls and thebronze hulls is night and day. I have never gotten a good pattern with the green hulls. Still at 40 yards with the Jellyhead and the bronze hulls I imagine you should be shooting somewhere around 180-220 pellets in a ten inch circle at 100 yards.
