Guest ketchum Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I would like to hear the results of Nitro Rhino performance. I'm putting 300+ in a 10" circle at 40 yards with a Benelli steady grip, Rhino .660. Shooting a 2 1/4 Nitro 3.5". Is this average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAbowhunter4life Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance That is about average. I am about to hop on the train myself. My buddy was out yesterday in the cold, snowy conditions testing his Nitro/Rhino combo out of hise 835. At 40 yards he got 270 BB's in a 10" circle, and after talking to the people from the Nitro Co. they told him that he was shooting in horrible conditions and in warmer weather he would get between 10-15% more BB's in a 10" circle. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaHunter Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance Yea that sounds about right from what i am hearing..if anyone is shooting a browning gold 10 let me know what you are using, cant decide on the .720 or go tighter with it. like a .685 let me know how you 10 guage guys are doin.!

Guest ketchum Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance I'm shooting the 51013 nitro, which is not what the website says shoot in a Benelli. I called them and they told me to shot this load. Look guys, I'm getting 125 shot in a 10" ring at 60 yards. I wasn't getting that many at 40 yards with a factory load of any kind. I tested a lot of chokes, shells and different guns. I spent a ton of money, testing I had to see for myself. I figured with my limeted time in the woods, I would get the best out of it. I just wanted to know if anyone was getting better patterns. Thanks and good hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbeard Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance Sounds about right to me. If you miss 'em with that many pellets, then you better stay on the porch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance I'm using their H378 3" load and got 316 pellets inside of a 10" circle at 38+ yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAbowhunter4life Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance He is shooting the .695 2" extended choke with their H51013M 4x5x7 Hevi loads. Thing is plenty lethal now, I can only imagine what it'll be like when the temperature gets out of the 30's lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbeard Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance .720 for a SP10. But my son is using the .660 on the winchester 1300. With the .660 Winchester we order the H378's. For the SP10, I used the 101L's or H101's. Both guns present patterns just as you see in that perfect pattern Maytom showed. You know the funny thing. That 1300 got two pellets in a 30" circle using Remington Hevi-shot yet shots Nitro's magnificently. And yes, we shot multiple times using Remington's loads and never got better. Strange, huh. Those Nitro 7 size pellets really cover up the pattern, don't they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ketchum Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance I wonder how much killing power the 7 shot will have at 40 yards abd farther? Does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbeard Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance Haven't test it yet, but I have found the 7's in the breast meat when I went to eat it. And those were birds killed between 30 and 40 steps. If six's will kill 'em, I'm sure 7's will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maytom Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance I'm using a Winchester 1300 NWTF Edition (1992 Vintage) along with a Rhino .660 choke tube. The #7 Hevishot pellets hit almost as hard as a #5 lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaHunter Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance Well i guess i am gunna order the shells and choke in a few days!! we only got about 18 inches of snow on the ground,lol.

Guest ketchum Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: nitro rhino performance I haven't used any of the econo loads. Although I have used several of the heavy shot loads. In my experience with several guns and several different chokes. Nitro's heavy shot delivers 15-20% better than the examples they have on their website.
