Title: Nitro #6 vs 4x5x7
Post by: blackdog on February 12, 2011, 07:53:13 AM
I understand that this is a question I should probably just send straight to Nitro Ammunition, but I figured some on here might know the answer. 

Does anyone know what the pellet count difference (in the hull, not "on target") is between a Nitro 510C 4x5x7 and the same shell loaded up with straight 6's?

I have been shooting the 4x5x7 with great success, but my mind keeps pushing me towards 6's.  It seems we lost a lot of the old "dissection" posts and pellet count charts. I was curious if the 4's and 5's took up enough space to make the numbers close to even with straight 6's?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

with such a variation in true pellet sizes, Id suspect it will be about the same in either shell.
