My son-in-law just bought a MB 535 Turkey Thug and some Nitro M517s.  I called Nitro and they stated that they had not tested it yet but it would be fine to shoot in that gun with a IC .660 choke he had purchased.  My question is has anyone tried this combination yet and what were the results. Do you think it's safe?

If Nitro said it is safe then it is safe.   :icon_thumright:

I just finished shooting up some of the original shells for the 835 through my 535 last season.  Never had a problem.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

Thanks everyone for you help. He shot this gun yesterday and it shot a one hole pattern at 30 yards.  I ask him to move back to 40 yards and see what happens.  I am waiting to hear from him on the 40 yard pattern.

WOW...with that pattern I hope he's got a scope or red dot.

Yeah, he might want to open that up a bit. :o

I have already called him about it.  I'm getting older like John Wayne said in Big Jake "my eyes are not that good anymore" I know I could not shoot that gun.  That is why I shoot a Browning Gold 10 ga.

That tight at 30?  Never seen a 30 yard pattern that tight

John Y

I have never seen one that tight either.  I plan to test his gun and mine this weekend and will verify the pattern.  I will also check it at 40 yards.
