Nitro Company Shell Problem

artie97 · 03-25-2006, 09:17 AM

Went to pattern my gun today with the Nitro shell but had a problem with the shell ejecting.I have a new Mossberg 500 pumpbut every time i shot the shell it got stuck,couldnt eject it.Had to take the barrel off to get the shell out every time.I shot the Winchester Xtended and another shell and didnt have that problem.

Anyone have this problem? or any info you could give me to fix this problem.

Thank you
Artie

I've heard this same story last spring about people having those shells jam in there guns

I would us this as a learning exp and go out and buy your self some WIN EXT RANGE #5's and never have to worrie if my shell is going to get jammed

That guy is prob so busy right now that they are just sending anything out the door!!!

This is a pattern with the WIN EXT RANGE 3"#5's at 30 yards.Isthis pattern okay or should i try some other shells?

This is a picture of the shell.The nitro is the blue and the black is the Win EXT Range.As you can see in the picture theNitro has some sort of glue on the end.You thinkwhen it opens up the glue get heated up and sticks to the barrel?

Call NITRO and tell them. I am sure that he could tell you what the problem might be and even refund you or send you some more ammo. I've heard of him doing it in the past.

What choke are you using? I would think that you should get a better pattern with the Winchester's. Esp considering the pattern has a big hole in the center.

I'm using a Rhino choke.

You might want to shot a few of those shells at a turkey target also
