In Woody's "Turkey Medicine" post I saw that a lot of guys shoot Nitros. Has anyone gotten a chance to try the new Hevi-13 Magnum blend?
The guys on another board that I frequent have been talking a lot and posting some impressive patterns for a cheaper alternative to Nitro's. I've tried everywhere around here to find them and didn't get to the Hevi-shot booth at the Convention early enough to get any.

i broke down, succumbed to the mania and bought a box of 5 at Gander Mtn in Greenwood for $26.74. There is a $5 rebate. They had the Mag Blend but not the Hevi 7's.

I'll have to check Gander in Evansville and see if they have them. They didn't about two weeks ago when I was there or I missed them.
Woody, I laughed at my buddy in Florida when he ordered a box of 25 a couple of years ago. Told him they would last longer than he did. Then we went to Nebraska and he also hunted here and Kentucky with me. He is down to 5. I think he paid a right at $4 a piece for the 3 1/2" then. I should have done the same.

Nebraska for him was like a patterning session the first day.  ;D I ended up getting some bird shot out of my truck and let him sight his scope in at about 10 yards before he moved the target out and loaded the Nitro's up. |

Check the NWTF bd. Several guys have shot them and some have taken them apart for fun.

I've taken Nitro's apart for fun.  Actually, it is usually after all the buffer starts falling out of them before I do that. |

The guys at the Midsouth booth at Nashville said they should have them back in stock in a couple weeks. They sold out faster than expected in both the 20 ga. #7s and the 3 1/2 in. Mag blend! I'll check Gander Mtn. today.

Well I stopped by the Evansville GM today to check on the Mag Blend. They had two boxes of 5 in 3 1/2". They still have them.... @ $30 each they can keep 'em!!! I may order some 20 ga.#7s for my wife's 20 from Midsouth. The H13 #6s, I used last year, kills turkeys stone dead at 50yds, that's far enough for me!!

Ordered two boxes from Cabela's. 19.99 a box of five..I like the idea of a blend of pellets 5,6 and 7's in one shelll, heavy shot, magnums..should be a lethal mix.

I see they are not showing the "4 to 6 weeks backorder" anymore. Did you order over the phone or on the internet? I wonder if they are caught up on the orders.
