This is very timely as I've been going back and forth on what I want to shoot, and could use some advise from the Nitro shooter.

I've decided to go with Nitro ammo, basically because I think they are the last long term supplier for year to year consistent 10 gauge turkey loads (based on my reading). 

So I order the Jelly Head for my SP-10, and am about to order shells from Nitro.  I'm looking at the Mega-Weight 2 1/2 or 2 1/4 ounce offerings - the trade off being a few feet per second.

Anyone have a preference and why?  I know they also offer straight hevi 7 shot - and that has me going back and forth...

I could use some guidance from experienced Nitro shooters.

Timb, what kind of numbers are you getting with the HWT 7s in the 10" with your gun using that .690?  I have an SP-10, too, but I have a 22" rifle-sighted barrel with a FFIII mounted on the barrel with a special mount.  The sight witnesses the rifle sights.  It really works great!!  BTW, I have a PG .690 and a Hastings .685.   Thanks, John

Browning BPS 10 ga. 24" "Stalker" with factory installed Hi-Viz FO sights. I guess I'm old school but I like Federal's "old" Premium 3 1/2" 2 1/4 oz. #6 shot  pushed thru my "old" Tru-Glo Bansner .695 choke tube. I also have installed a plain black "The Claw" sling. This combo has worked fine for a number of years.
