Quote from: Longshanks on March 18, 2012, 09:42:32 PMPaying twice as much as Hevi for the Nitros wasn't worth it to me when I turned better patterns with Hevi 7's. I agree that the cost of shells is a minimal cost with respect to overall cost of turkey hunting..but throwing money away is not real smart.I must be missing something. I keep hearing Hevy 13 are 1/2 as much. Im paying $7-8 each for Nitros. I was at Dick's and saw Hevy 13 magblend 3.5 were $29 for a box of 5. Checked cheaperthandirt and they were $27.97. Where are you buying them for 1/2 cost of Nitros? Thanks

Hope I do it again tomorrow! Shells are cheap compared to gas!! Nitros are great shells too.I guess if you are trying to see how much money you can spend..per turkey..you win.

Quote from: Longshanks on March 19, 2012, 10:51:04 PMI think if a company came out with a shell and marketed the right way for 25.00 a shell. Some folks would buy them claiming they have more confidence in them. Shooting a turkey with a shotgun is pretty easy. The rest of the hunt, scouting, setup, calling, moving on the turkey, etc. that's the tough part. You either have confidence in your ability to get the turkey in close or you try to make up for in other ways..like 8-10 shells.
Quote from: link=topic=21208.msg236044#msg236044 date=1332237267Shells are the cheapest expense for me by far. Can't see skimping on shells when I've spent so much trying to get into gun range of a turkey. My days afield are too few and far between. But I can get much better performance than Nitros for less money, with no worries about over pressure shells. So, I no longer use them.
