In what order are Nitros and Hevi Mag Blend 4x5x7s placed in the wad?  Are they equal parts for each shot size?

From the ones that I have opened I didn't notice any order of the shot.  But there's a lot more small shot in em...

In the 10 gauge 2.5 ounce load
4s 5/8 ounce
5s 5/8 ounce
7s 1 1/4 ounce

I gave up years ago trying to evaluate pattern % w/ the MagBlends due to the variability of the shot composition from lot to lot.  A 3" shell from a recent lot contained shot sizes from 4's-9's w/ a preponderance of 6's -9's, but that alright by me, since the 40 yard patterns were nice and even w/ no voids.  I haven't bought or evaluated Nitros, since EnvironMetal came out w/ the H13, 7's and MagBlends. IMO, the recoil and marginal increase in performance from my guns w/ the Nitros is not worth the cost, and I've had a few pressure issues w/ them in the past.
