I never realized how much science was involved into patterning your shotgun and I feel like I'm in kindergarten again. (And I thought I was a pro)
Has anyone ever tried the combos recommended on their site and had similar results?
They are great in my shotgun and I get the pellet count that their site says I should receive. The patterns are generally really tight so you have little margin of error when you pull the trigger, however if you do your part correctly whatever is on the receiving end of that load is absolutely destroyed.
Are their posted results from their own blends such as the Mega weight?
I saw they also posted results from the HV but their prices seem a little high so I figured they were their own blend.
Not sure but if you call them they are more than helpful.
Everything on their page is there loads. The megas are little heavier than the hevis. My dads 835 loves the megas
Lot of us here shoot nitros
They ain't no joke, especially out of a gun that has had work done on it (I.e. Polished bore, forcing cone lengthened, etc).
Love nitro h13 and megaweight out of my browning. Have been extremely impressed with it out of my brothers guns, as well.

x2. They are tight. I changed from a JH 670 to a PG 675 in my Browning Silver. The pattern was softball size at 35 yards and under.
A softball size pattern at 35 yards? You have any pics of that?
I use them for turkey exclusively. Can't say enough good things.
Nitro ammo is some wicked stuff.

Did you send them your gun or just order the loads they recommended for your gun?
I consulted with them about my set-up and desired performance.
For example, right now I have 10 mega-weight straight 6s coming. 5 in the 2.25 ounce load and 5 in the 2 7/16 ounce load. I'll order 25 of whichever load patterns in the 220-240 range.
Here is my target I just shot using my SBE 2 24" shooting Nitro 2 7/16 oz. #7's at a taped 40 yards.

Ordered loads they recommended, used the choke they recommended, and polished the barrel.
Listen to what they tell you at Nitro, cause NOBODY knows there shells better than they do!!!
:fud: :fud: :fud:
I spent over $400 on Nitro ammo and chokes they recommended and never got better patterns than the factory H-13 shells.
They were turkey killing patterns just not as big 10" numbers as advertised and not as high as H-13.

Do you have any shells you want to sell?

What kind of numbers are you getting and what load?

You would be the first person that I have heard say that H-13 outshot Nitro's. I have shot both out of a bunch of guns and H-13 shoots good but not anywhere near as GREAT as the NITRO's. Jusy my experience!!!
Good Luck and God Bless

Benelli SBEII, 28" bbl. I tried 2-1/4 oz and 2-7/16 oz 4x5x7's and straight 7's from Nitro as well as the 2-7/16 oz load designed for Benelli and Baretta smaller bore with the 0.660 Rhino they sold me for $100, a Pure Gold 0.670, a JH 0.660, a 0.668 Hevi choke, and a JH 0.668 made just for Rhino I bough from them as a last resort. The best I got with the 2-7/16 oz straight 7's was 270 in a 10" circle with the Hevi choke shooting the Nitros. Extremely clean barrel. Mirror chrome.
Consistently get 300 with Hevi choke and H-13 2-1/4 oz 7's but actually preferred the even pattern I got from Pure Gold that averaged 283 over five shot test with great even 20" coverage.
Man, that's incredible. You certainly made every investment and effort possible to achieve optimum performance.
I got a new to me Win. 1300 last summer, sent an email to Nitro telling them what I had, they recommended an indian creek tube, and mega weights (I forgot the #). I got 251, 10" at 40 yards. Best numbers I have ever gotten, and all I had to do was take Nitos advice.
I shot H378i #4x5x7 out of a Benelli Vinci and would say my results with a Indian Creek choke were similar to what they have on thier website. I was skeptical but was impressed with the results.
