My thought exactly
Just got my Nitros yesterday but my gun is in the shop getting tapped for the Holo sight. I sure wish I'd gone to Rhino/Nitro combination long time a go. Through my 870 I've had 279 in a 12" @ 40 (clean/polished barrel) and 247 hits @ 40 after shooting a few other loads through the gun. Being able to throw a good pattern 40 to 50 yards doesn't mean I have to shoot that far, I always want to call the turkeys into my kill zone (25 to 30 yards) but it doesn't always work out that way every time. It's real nice knowing I have the ability to make a clean kill when the kill zone is stretched out Congratulation on the Rhino and the sweet pattern you're throwing. Good luck this year and keep it safe
I don't like shooting over 40 yards either but if I get one hung up at 50 I feel very comfortable with taking the shot.

The Nitro hevi-shot for Rem 870 or 11-87 with .660-2" Rhino Ext. Choke
12ga 3" #4x5x7hevi-shot has only 230-270 pellets.
You better keep what you have if that's what you are patterning
with your gun/ammo combo..

RE: Rhino choke pattern results
12ga 3" #4x5x7hevi-shot has only 230-270 pellets.
The chart on there says that the #7 Hevi-Shot has 342 shot per ounce, the #4 shot has a 107 per ounce and the #5 shot has 180, lets add them up and that should be close to telling how many shot is in one of his 2oz loads.
342+54+90+=486
There should be somewhere around 486 shot in one of his 2oz 4x5x7 loads, and the 2 1/4oz loads should have about an 1/8 more.
