And tested them?  Any load..not just mega weight.  Im curious to see how they shoot compared to last years and 2010.  I am also real curious about the new mega weights, but a little skeptical too.  For the prices and ejecting troubles out if one gun with s particular load, I gotta say my vote is still with hevi 13 7s for now.  I tried a different nitro load yesterday,  but it was not good....did eject tho... and it too was a 2011 load, so im wondering if anything changed up for 2012 in components.   
The are advising the 695 ic this year though, never shot one or heard of one actually.  Guess they shot good for them to suggest them with their loads.  I did shoot the jh and rhino and others with them
Let's see um if ya got em!  Love the testing!

Nitro vs Hevi Shot

Both are good but one is major league and the other is AAA ball.  Nitro does not change components like others without creating a new load #

Well Nitro certainly changed up their #51013A loads last year.  I had a decrease of 50-75 pellets in the target at 40 yards with last year's loads over the ones from 2010.

Skfooter...im with you there on the same load.  I shot em side by side one evening.  Shot several 2011 loads and 1 2010.  The 2010 load went 368 and the best I got out of the 2011 was 292 I think and had one go 204 .  The pellet counts don't even look high enough...not sure how many are in a load like that but I think 500 would be stretching it.

I shot a 510c yesterday and don't think I broke 200.  Heck it didn't even look like there was 400 pellets there...I will count it all again later on. 

I will get some of this years 51013 loads and try them too to see how they do...I just gotta find a place that has them in stock and will sell them individually.

I just got two boxes of 31/2, 7 shot haven't had time to shoot yet the ones from last year were bad to the bone.

What kind of patterns and numbers were ya getting?  I had seriously considered ordering some of those, but didn't have much solid data to go on as to what others had been doing with those loads....maybe u can helped out here.    Im really interested in 10 and 20" pellet counts at a true 40 yards

I've got a few H321 left over from last year and ordered more of the same this year. Havent patterned yet to see the difference. Last years loads were giving me between 238-248 in 10" @ 40 yards. This was out of a custom single shot with Indian Creek .665. I shot several to ensure it wasn't a fluke.
I didn't count the shot in 20" but will say what impressed me the most was how consistent of a pattern I got, no large holes in either 10" or 20".
I'm waiting on the FastFire III before shooting again and sighting in.
I've had some work done on an old 870 that I inherited and acquired a Rhino .660 that I had to send back to Rhino for some adjustment. Once I get it back it will see what kind of pattern I get with the H321 as well has Hevi13 straight 6.

I've got 10 m517 nitro loads coming. Going to test them in a browning silver with rhino 670 ,pure gold 670, and Indian creek 665 and 675. That is the load they recommend with IC  665. I will post results ASAP

Received my 10 and 12 gauge Megaweight loads yesterday. Have to try them out soon.

Interested to see numbers here as I just ordered some megas to try in  20&12 870 & ssi-l mossberg. First time playing with nitros as I've run win er,hevis, and feds for awhile. Would love some good data on their other shells from those that run them.

I've tested the 3 1/2" 510c and 5104 in a new Rem Shur Shot 11-87 with a Rhino .660. The 5104 patterned a little better but not much I would hunt with either one. Shooting a 12" target with the 5104 I got 334 at 30 yds, 259 at 40 yds, and 179 at 50 yds. Shooting a turkey target at the same distances in the neck and head 30 yds = 141, 40 yds = 92, 50 yds = 49. These results were after some break in of the barrel with other ammo and three through cleanings of the barrel. Each of these was also the second shot after a fouling shot with other ammo. As stated the 510c was lower count but would certainly do the job.
