Many hours and many hundreds of dollars spent on shells to come to this conclusion:

I'll take Nitros all day, every day. The other stuff is just practice ammo.

From the patterning I have done with the chokes that I have, it looks like I may be going with the Winchester Elite Extended Range 3" #6. I still have some a little more patterning to do, but for now, this is my load of choice.

It used to be Rem.hevi #6. Last season I used fed 4s with good results. I will try the new rem hd loads to see how they pattern.
