In addition to my TenPoint crossbow I and Woodmaster will be giving these bad boys a try. We've shot 4X5X7 Nitros in the past, but these are quite a bit cheaper. Lots of turkey hunters say they are just as good, if not better. Don't know about better as both Woodmaster and I have rolled gobblers at 50+ yards. Has anyone on here tried them? www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=706584Nice rebates too... . . |

Woody, they're good shells that pattern well with my Rhino choke. I killed a couple of birds last spring with them and missed one that should have been dead. With that said, they're not Nitros.  |

Do they work well with most turkey chokes or do you need a special choke?

Use a Hevi choke for best results. Some super turkey chokes are too tight for the hevi-shot.

never tried nitros MB or Hevi 7's are 50 yd killers with the right choke! (further if your are bad at judging distances)   |

Nice pattern.
Do you like the 7's? I thought about having some mega weights loaded by Nitro in 7

now I tried these last spring due to rebate and my shotgun did not pattern well with them. I also wasn't willing to spend the money on a new choke combo. Now my sons 20g set up patterned great with thema dn he uses these. I just stuck with my Federals.

Nice pattern. Do you like the 7's? I thought about having some mega weights loaded by Nitro in 7 I must like the magnum blends better cause I have used them up. 7's pattern better but the MB's have great results (birds don't seem to flop is much). Will just use the 7's this year and try to get closer than 50 yds. |

I think my last box of Nitros was 105 for 25, not cheap but 320-340 pellets in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards isnt to bad.

Yep but you only need one. Plus shooting turkeys at long range takes a lot of the fun out of it. I like how the hevi shot takes the flop out of the kill shot. It kills turkeys without having to have a bunch in the neck head area.

i like the heavy shot out of the benelli i use. i shoot it out of a primos 655 tight wad choke. have killed a couple of stuborn birds at 53 and 56 yards with them. pattern with this setup is better at 40 yards than most shells ive used at 30 yards. havent had a turkey leave the area after the shot since i started using the hevi shot. hardly ever flop either.

The first is nitro 4x5x7 @ 40 yards thru a SBEII with rhino choke. Second pic is magnum blend.   |

I'm going to shoot my Mag Blend one more time before I totally decide what to use... My one shot with the Mag Blend was also good but not quite as good as I want... |

I had a buddy tell me that he got more shot in a 10" circle with mag blend than nitros. I told him I'd spot him the shell to prove it if I'd get two back if he didn't.  Those nitros are bad medicine on gobblers. Either you use is going to kill a turkey. Might move it to the right a little if you can. |

Killing birds at 50+ yards is commonplace with them with a proper choke. I've got two field edges that I hunt. One small field edge I hunt the Mag Blend will be way more than adequate. The other field is a big one where Mr. Big Bird can hang up way out there. The Nitros get chambered then as well as the field in KY.. |

I've used MB on the last 3 birds i've killed, it paired with a Primos Jellyhead in my 535 Turkey tactical make for bad medicine out to 50. I think my last box of Nitros was 105 for 25, not cheap but 320-340 pellets in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards isnt to bad. $105/25=$4.20/shot $28/5=$5.60/shot If your price for Nitros is correct It's actually cheaper to shoot Nitros. And if you consider the yearly inflation of ammo and the fact that you are theoretically buying 25 years worth of turkey loads it'll be much cheaper in the long run. |
