This is my first year to use the Nitros ( got a box for Christmas). The ones I have are the 4x5x7 heavi-shot. I'm shooting it through a Mossberg 835 with a Jelly Head .690 choke tube. It's about to kill me that I havent had a chance to get out and shoot them yet, However,from what I've heard about them, it should be fun.

I noticed on thier website that the 4x5x7 hevishot shoots the same 1200 fps and puts the same amount of shot at 40 yards as the 4c x 5c x 7hevi ....
Whats the advantage of the all hevi-shot compared to the copper/hevi-shot loads??
There is quite a bit of price difference .....

Hevishot is heavier than lead and carries more energy and knockdown further distance. Not an issue out to 40 but beyond it becomes an advantage.
