I have read many posting on this forum recommending Nitro loads. Most of the people seem to shoot the 4x5x7 hevi's with enormous amounts of hits in a 10" area resulting from 2-1/4 or 2-1/2 oz loads and the rhino choke combo. I'm not toally sure about the 2-1/2, I just know that they are kinda hot!

My question is this...

How much shot ends up in the bird to be picked out later? or

why not just use regular 7 or 8 shot loads that will throw tons of pellets instead of paying 45.00 for a box of ten.

I'm just asking because I want to try them too!!! this is not a slam to people using them, I just want to get some info before paying 150.00 for nitro ammo/rhino choke combo.
