Not paid just sharing!
While at NWTF convention come across a shell by Spectra Shot called White Lightning...all I can say is the shell has proven to be a real shooter...I had my doubts so had to shoot some to see and was more than surprised with the results.  My best groups come from a 650 kicks in my Remington 870.  I will post pictures in time but for now if your looking for a new outstanding load I think we have a true player in the lead game.  Here is some info from other links also.  It's not pushing a product just one I am glad I found!

Not yet but I look for them to be big players in the turkey shell game.  Why?  Quality control and proven results before release!

I already own this combo.  Haven't patterned the .650 with Turkey loads yet.  Waiting for warmer temps.

That shell needs to be on a store shelf somewhere.  I don't order ammo through the mail.

Old school shell design, with the newer components. I can't wait to see the patterns. That ad says extra large 6's,does that mean almost 5's?

The ad says 354 pellets in a 1.625 oz load. That means they count 218/oz. Nominal lead #6s count 225/oz. Lead 5s count 170/oz, so no they are not almost 5s, rather slightly over size 6s.

Ordered three boxes early last week and should be here any day....ill post my pattern results. I too have heard great things about these shells

$2.20 per shell is a little to steep for me for lead

I agree thats a little high. I am awaiting your pattern pics before I pass judgement ;D

Sounds interesting, but 1 3/4 oz min. would be better. I'm not from Missouri, but "Show Me" anyway!! Not much more exspensive than other premium loads. Won't take long to hear if their any good.. Same payload & nickel shot that the worthless Hornady's tout.. We'll see..

I believe Allaboutshooting might have some experience with them...maybe Clark will weigh in on this thread.

Anybody have any pattern pics yet?    I wouldn't mind having a solid 40 yard lead turkey load in my inventory as HTL prices continue to rise.
