At least that's what many "ex-gobbling" birds would say. Started spring season with 4 ea. Nitro #5 nickel-plated 3 1/2" loads. Only have one left so it was time to purchase more. Decided to buy a box of 4CuX5CuX7Hevi. Retighten my red-dot with other loads then shot one Nitro at 40 yds. Then one at 50 yds. At life-size turkey targets. I've never seen results like this in many years of patterning. On the 11X17 50 yd. paper you couldn't fit a robin in there. Devastating. I'll jump out on a limb and say that, regardless of what factory load you shoot, these will be significantly better. (Oh...for those concerned, I forgot to put in the disclaimer re: 50 yd. shots!)

Thanks
