I am using the Nitro hevi shot load in my 3 1/2" 870 super mag. The pellet count in a ten inch circle at 40 yards is TWICE AS MUCH AS LEAD! I figure that since I can only kill a limited number of turkeys
it doesnt really matter how much the ammo costs. $1.00 a shot for copperplated lead or $4.00 a shot for hevi shot doesnt really concern me considering how much everything else costs.
If we were talking about dove loads, then costs would matter!
