Nitro Ammo

[LaLongbeard]

Finally got thru to Nitro after calling several times the last few weeks. Got 2 10 round boxes of str. #7's I should be set on Turkey loads for a while I will shoot a couple from each box to be sure but I have always had the same pattern results from box to box over the years really like the consistency of Nitros

The make a fine shell. You went with 2 1/4's or 2 7/16's?

Only complaint I have about their shells are their seals. After a year of turkey hunting any shell that was in my vest or cycled in and out of my gun all had buffer/shot leaking out of them.

Under a cloak of darkness I quickly "borrow" my wife's clear finger nail polish and put a thin coat over the crimp and it has worked perfect!!!!

2 1/4 for the 4x5x7
2 7/16 for the 7's
I've had shells in my vest for several seasons cycling thru  my gun and back to vest until they were used never had a leak. I think I'd be sending them back if they did for the price they should at the least stay sealed lol.

I wish someone would start loading this tss stuff and sell it. I'd love to try it but don't know a thing about reloading and if what I've heard is true. People shooting 9 shot at turkey's at 40 yds plus and killing them. I'd be all in, can't begin to imagine how that patterns.

You would have to sell it for at least $15 a shell to make it work.  Don't think there would be enough demand. I've thought about it.

It's very easy to do. I can load 5 shells faster than I could drive to a gun store and buy them.

I've had the same problem with the buffer leaking out sent a few back and they replaced them they also recommended using elmers glue to cover the crimp. I've had very good success with nitro's !

I use to use those shells, but for the money that they charge, you would think they would of done a better job of sealing them. Like some of you already stated, several shells lost most of their buffering mix as well?

Candle wax works great

[kdsberman]

Here's a dumb question...what is the crimp?

Side note, I've used Nitro H517 for a while now and love them.  The good thing about Michigans one bird limit is I only go through one shell a year because I don't plan on missing.  $85 for 10 shells...  $8.50/year.  I can handle that.
