Any of you Nitro guys every open one of those shells up and see just what percentage of those loads are #7's and if there is anything smaller than #7 in there? Just curious.........
I'd be curious to hear the results of that myself.....I thought I remembered reading that someone did just that (I can't find it now?) and there was a bunch of # 7 1/2 and even smaller 8's or 9's mixed in to apparently send the pellet count through the roof.
Sounds like it would be devastating at 20-30 yards but I too wonder about using them at longer ranges where this patterning stuff really shines.
Those Nitro 4-5-7's were on my short list of shells to try at one point along with the Winchester HD's.
