Which shell would you shoot?

[Swamprunner]

So, I am shooting an 870 super mag with an IC .665 and a 26" barrell. I got the following #'s and wonder what y'all would shoot. All are 10" numbers at 40

3" Nitro Mega 4/5/6/7 2 oz.     231

3.5" Win ext range 6 2 oz.       217

3.5" Nitro 7 hevi 2-7/16 oz.     358

3.5" Nitro 4/5/7 hevi 2-7/16.   313

3.5" hevi 7 2-1/4 oz.               327

Opinions and reasoning please

This unless money is no object then Nitro 7s

3.5" Nitro 4/5/7 hevi 2-7/16.   313

This one. That's one hard hitting round at 40 yards, turkey don't stand a chance.

[Spurcollecta]

3.5 nitro 7's

Depends on your hunting situation and what the actual patterns look like.  A laser tight pattern, with big numbers isn't going to do you any good when the bird comes in at 15-25 yards....you would be shooting a rifle at him at that point. 

I nice even pattern with no holes that is tight enough to get it done at 40-50 yards AND is also wide enough at 20-25 to allow for a small bit of error.

Nitro #7s
Looks like you have a good lot of the hevi13 #7s. Who knows what kind of numbers you will get from the next box. That's why I vote the Nitros.

[Tom Foolery]

Probably the Nitro 7's, but in all honesty if I could consistently throw 200+ with the Win Xtended Range 6's it would be hard to turn away from that.  That would be a mean mocheen!

If it were me I would flip a coin and pick one of those.

[K9Doc]

Depends on your 20" ring and 50 yard numbers.  I bet the Winchester Xtended range will surprise you at 50 yards.  I vote will likely be the Hevi 13 #7s tho
What lot # on the Hevi 13 2.25oz #7s?

[VaTuRkStOmPeR]

None of the above.

The 2 7/16's loads are most often too much shot packed into the narrow bore of a .727 Remington.

I'd either go with a 5x6x7
Nitro triplex in a 2 1/4 ounce load or I would shoot hevi13 6s in tje 2.25 ounce load.

X2

I'd start with best one (assuming all of the patterns have nice, even coverage) and shoot 'em all down the list from there.  And then when I run out, I'd buy more of the least expensive ones at that time, because ain't no turkey gonna be walking away from ANY of those.

[Stoney Creek]

Great setup. i've got the same one and it is comparable with your gun. I have also shot the same loads and i made my decision on the evenness of the pattern including the 20 inch, i love big 10 numbers but for a 'hunting' pattern i went with the Hevi 13 with 2.25 oz of #7s. I used Nitro for years and no complaints here. Every shell you posted is a killer and you could flip a coin and have a winner. We've come a long way with ammo and bead sights sometimes are not precise enough for me up close to not miss due to slight flinch or raising my head a bit...I'm a FastFire or Turkey Scope guy now, just gotta squeeze easy....lol...

I have a super x2 with a kicks .670 and i shoot the hevi 13 magnum blend 5,6,7 and it patterns awesome  flatten a turkey @ 40 last year too!

Ditto... like the extra larger pellets.

2-1/4 oz in 12 and 2-1/2 in 10.  I shot the heavier H517 nitro for a couple years, The lighter 51013 2-1/4 oz was much more efficient on hits. Just took a several patterning sessions and dead turkeys to be honest about it,.
