Patterned the new triple beard out of Mossy 835 and Indian Creek Choke. Shot was taken at Laser 40yards. Not impressed my Longbeard #4s put up way better numbers. It was windy and barrel hasn't been deep cleaned yet but has been cleaned thoroughly with a bore snake. 135 in 10" at 40.
Pattern looks good, even/balanced. He's not walking away from it.
Were these the 3 or 3.5?

3.5. Forgot to mention that.
Looks pretty dang good to me! Your Longbeards may put up better numbers but I bet the 20 yd pattern is much more forgiving with the triple beards.
I just got my 3.5's in the mail yesterday. If they don't out pattern my longbeards at 40, then I'm going to use them when I know a shot isn't going to be more than 25-30

How's the pellet count in the 15 or 20 "
Also, what diameter IC?
.675 on the Indian Creek. Didn't count the 15 or 20. I'll do that tomorrow and let you know.
That would be great , thanks for the report.
9 degrees in the morn, I imagine I be inside ,lol
Supposed to be in the 60's next weekend here and I'm off work. Going to try to get out and pattern mine. I'm going to be shooting them through a .665. I will post my results when I get them done.
It's really cold here in west TN but i'm thinking of shooting one anyway. Itching to shoot a gun. If you don't like them I'll buy em. I'd hunt with that.
I'm wondering how they are going to shot out of a 20 gauge. Going to buy some for my sons mossberg bantam weight he don't shoot over 30 yards so if they pattern half that good they will be great for kids.
Nice and even! He's gonna need a helmet :OGturkeyhead:
Good looking pattern!

Bingo! Lot of folks get focused on 40 and forget most shots are closer to 20-30 yards. I personally am impressed with your pattern at 40, looks like your typical spring day, 62 with a slight breeze. To me the pattern held up well even with a breeze working against you. I was glad to see an affordable triplex load come out, I like the LB patterns but the longevity of the resin is a concern I have, how long will it hold up in the shell before it breaks down and doesn't function like it should.

Thats a great point on the resin! I never thought about that.

Plus anything that the Drury brothers get behind I tend to shy away from. They just get on my nerves and i've never been impressed with MAD calls. Seriously though I want to know how a box of shells shoots 5 years from now as most of us have a stock pile of loads. If your like me your vest stays in your truck (your shells are in your vest) the whole season and goes thru so many temperature fluctuations, I'm just curious as to how durable it really is. Don't get me wrong, I almost drank the kool aid when they came out until I saw the price.
Nice even pattern in the pic.
Bought a box for yesterday. Going to run them through a .670 Tru Glo Ill post pics...hope to shoot some this weekend! Time is drawing near. :you_rock:
