Check out this website that I saw Will Primos advertise www.nitrocompany.com/pattern.htmIf what these guys claim is true the cost per pound for turkeys just went up for me. I shoot a SBE and they claim their loads will put 230-270 pellets in a 10 inch circle at 40 yds! with either a Rhino .673 or a Jellyhead .655 choke, That's impressive! Antone know anything about them? |

I shoot a Benelli with a rhino choke tube and Nitro 3in #6 shot. They're are very impressive. I can say up to 35 yards that you can't count all the pellets. At 40 I had 29 pellets and 45 I had fifteen in the kill. I just got the gun and I'm leaving this week for a hunting trip, so I haven't had a whole lot of time to tweak things, I will when I get back before our season in Indiana, but I'm sure I can get it tweaked and do better than that, as far as 275 pellets or whatever I'm not sure , but they are very impressive with a rhino choke and nitro combo. It only takes one pellet to kill abird though....Ridgerunner

If I remember right, the guys from Primos use the nitro shells.

325 dollers for them to find the best choke and shell combo is insane.  just my opinion.. |

Oh I agree, but if I can buy a Jellyhead choke (50.00) and a box of their shells (30.00) and get anywhere close to that I'd be a very happy man cause I'll bet I've spent at least $300.00 on chokes and shells for my SBE and can only get 10 pellets in kill (brain & spine) at 40 yd. Some people would say good enough but I want a bloody stump at 40 yd. |

I talked with many of my fellow hunter from across the Country before I purchased a new gun and tube. I must have talked with 50 different very seasoned hunters and read article after article before I chose a gun, then I shot some different guns, sholdered them etc. After a year of talking, reading and researching on the internet I found that many of the serious turkey hunters agree and the vast majority I talked with use Rhino choke tubes .660 with Nitro shells for best performance. I have to say I agree and I have tried many, many different combinations of tubes and shell over the years. I finally got a combo I'm very impressed with..If you want the best IMHO go with rhino and Nitro combo..RIdgerunner 35 yards with my Benelli, Rhino tube and Nitro Ammo  |

I posted this pic on another thread. It's my pattern at 40 yards. Remington 1187, .660 Rhino choke tube and Nitro Hevishot #4x5x7. That combo dropped a 2 year old bird at 35 yards like a sack of taters this morning in Kentucky.  |

I've always heard that about the Rhino and the Nitro shells. Everything I've seen on them has been by someone who was impressed.

I don't know which is worse....paying $100 for the Rhino choke tube or $57 for ten Nitros shells. The choke will last forever and the box of shells will last me for 2 seasons. I LOVE the results but everytime I shoot [glow=red,2,300]one [/glow]shell at the range I think "there goes $6".

I love the Rhino tubes. I picked up on at Cabela's in their Bargin Cave a couple years ago. I still don't know how it ended up there, since Cabela's does not sell Rhino tubes, but it was in there none the less. Get this. I paid $15 for it. They had no clue what they were selling.
That tube puts out insane patterns. I shoot Winchester Supreme #5's in 3.5". That combo will blow a 2" hole through the paper at 30 yards. I've never tried the Nitro shells, seeing how the Winchester's patter so insanely tight in my gun.

I have a Browning Gold with a Kicks and shoot Nitro 301A 4x5x7.5 and get results like that.
