wow...good research....but im with matt, whats the point of even putting the 4's and 5's in there if the 7's and 8's are what do the job?
The#4 and #5's will do most of the damage. The reason for the smaller sized shot is that it fills in any holes in your patterns. And since these shells consist 100% of Plated"HEVISHOT", even the smaller sized shot will work wonders compared to lead. That is the reason for the very high pellet counts inside a 10" circle. If you go to the Nitro website, they suggest using their loads with either the Rhino choke, or the Primos Jellyhead. They also make loads that work specifically with longer or shorter barrel lengths as well.
Nitro company has really done their home work with testing their loads.
I have tried numerous chokes and turkey loads over the years only to find the perfect combo with Nitro H378 loads and a Rhino choke tube sized .660.
Trust me, until you actually walk up to a target and see first hand the actual pellet count after trying this combo, it will leave you speech less!!
