RE: Rhino/ Nitro Combo?
Its the Nike of turkey hunting marketing... JUST DO IT!!!
We picked up Rays shells about half way through season lastyear (Nitro) and additionally went too his house/shop while turkey hunting nearby in souther MO. He and his wife are quite a pair! Shes the numbers and hes the tester and loader!
But honestly the stuff is THAT DAMNED GOOD! I'll put it this way, I killed two toms in MO the first two weeks of season. One at a laser ranged 50yds in the woods and another at a laser ranged 64 yds across a pasture. One of our salesman killed two birds at over 70 yards each with his 3.5" Gold with Nitros. We were all shooting the 2 1/4oz load of 4,5 & 7s through various tubes. I have an old original TruGlo (not the newer cheaper StrutStoppers) that is awesome in my 870 SuperMag with the triplex Nitros. We had been shooting factory Remington Hevi-Shot for a few years before. And while its good, the Nitros are THAT much better. Easy a 70-75 yard load in most any 3.5" gun with a decent choke.
As for the Rhino tubes, they are on the way too our shop and we are ALL looking forward to trying them. Ray had patterns and targets from various guns, chokes and loads in his shop and his combos are awfully convincing. I will say this, my 870 SuperMag was one in the first shipment that we recieved several years ago. I have used it for duck hunting and turkey hunting since. But now that I have it rigged with the Nitros, tube and a red dot scope (and yes you MUST HAVE a scope with these loads as they will shoot farther than you can with a simple bead!) I have set the 870 back and use it SOLELY for turkey hunting now. I dont want to ruin the patterning of this gun by running duckloads through it. I simply use other guns for ducks now.
GET SOME!!!
