Nitro
I pulled up the nitro ammuniton company's website and they are stating you get well over 100 pellets in a 10" circle at 40yards with the nickle plated shot and over 200 with the hevishot. This is with a benelli with a Rhino .660 or .655 choke.

Sweet! 
Hope you have a scope on that shot gun, cause if you get a bird within 20 yards its gonna be tight.

Very strong. I'd say that'd just about do the job.
Nitro Ammo is awesome!!
I have killed well over 60 Longbeards with Nitro Ray's ammo. In the last 15 years I have exclusively used the 17/8 oz nickel #5's and of late the 5x6 duplex load.
No theory, nothing but dead gobblers. Try not to let em get inside 20 yards- it will decapitate 'em.
It may not be the best ammo out there, but it is the only ammo I use on Gobblers. Combined with a Kick's tube, it is bad medicine.
The pattern in the photo is about what I expect from my M-1 Benelli and a Kick's .655. It will eat em up.
Go to the Nitro website (www.nitrocompany.com) and see some of my birds and other successful hunters you may know.

Just so you know
This is not my gun; I got this off of a website that I found on the internet. The shot was hevishot in 4x6x7.5. Unbelievable. I think this may be what I consider too tight for the simple reason you guys stated; you could miss too easy. I would like to try some of that Nitro ammo though.
Agar,
Can you post a picture of one of your patterns?

So what do you Nitro guys reccomend
What do you think you would use for a Nova? I have a comp-n-choke tube right now, the XXFull; I believe a .668 and the XXXFull is a .658 because the inside diameter of the Nova is .723. What do you guys think? Did you have to buy a number of shells from Nitro to find the one that patterned well out of your gun? How much better were they than say winchester HV's?

Very good pattern...
That's a very good pattern, but a little to tight for me! I still get way to shook up when a turkey comes in. Imagine shooting a gobbler that just come over the rise at about 10 yds. YEAH, you would have to just about have the RED DOT or a draw a sure enough good bead, or else you would miss that bird. Good patterns though, hate to think how much a box of those shells cost.
