RE: Blown away by Hevi Shot (no pun intended)
Mouthcaller,
Thanks on the kind words. We don't start turkey season up here until May, so I literally live for March Madness. It's one of the only things that keep me sane until I can hunt turks...that and the fact that trout season opens 2 weeks before the first day of turkey.
As for the Nitro loads, from everything that I've seen, read and heard...there is really no comparison. Coupled with a Rhino choke, your gun literally could probably kill birds out to 75 yards...no joke.
At this point in my career though (considering the student status with 2 kids) I can't justify $100 for the choke and $5-10 per shell for the combination.
If you can afford it, you won't ever understand how you hunted with an XXfull choke and lead shot [&:]
