Remington Nitro are garbage. Worst round I have ever fired. I'd rather throw rocks then use them. I know hunters who have hit turkey well within range with a solid hit and bird has gotten away.

Had to double check in the gun cabinet but I had 2 boxes of them and still have one left of #5's and I have never had such horrible pattern from a box of shells before. It is why I switched to the Wincester XR's this year and I am glad I did.

I'm not sure you could shoot a tree rat with one of the Remington shells and it fall out of the tree
it's not the harvest,it's the chase
