What did 5 shells cost you?
I didn't know they sold their shells in quantites of 5.
Sounds like I better call them tomorrow. I want to give them a try.

To answer the original post:  I have a 11-87 SM with .660 RHino.  Shooting Nitros 2.25 oz. 4x5x7s I can achieve 325 to 340 in the 10 inch ring at 40 yards consistentely.  However, at a slight loss in "Advertised" velocity, i can do the same with the Hevi 13 2.25 oz 7s.  They are $5 per shotshell.  Nitros are fine, but way overpriced.  Why i am starting to reload TSS.

Naw surehuntsalot, I'm serious brother, they do sell em either way. They are high, but , can't kill but three here in MS, as surehuntsalot knows. I get to go hunting with people who have messed with certain turkeys for several weeks before they call me. I like to be able to kill em if they're too boogered up to get in real close. I'll spend 8.50 ea for 3 kills, rather than havin em walk off at 45-50 yds.
