I bought some longbeard 3.5" #4's yesterday. Well I couldn't wait to try them so I shot them today. It was 51*so the pattern should improve a little as it warms up. 20" 835 with a ssx tube. 40 range finder yards. The sharpie circle is 9" after I got home I put another circle it is 10" and I drew it with a pen. I had 130 in the 9". The 10" had 12 more pellets in it.

That'll work!!! Those 4's will smash em'!!!
That's what I think I'm gonna use this year. I bought 1 box of 4's and 2 boxes of 5's. Yesterday. I thing I'm gonna buy 5 more boxes of 4's and 5 more boxes of 5's. I shouldn't need shells for several years
Sounds like a plan!!! I've got Six boxes each of 6 & 5 longbeards. The 6's are easy to get a great pattern... I'm working on getting the 5's shooting better numbers this year.
gonna try some 4's through my 30" full choked 1100 magnum

What kinda numbers are you getting out of the 5's? I'm gonna shoot mine tomorrow with 5's. The high is suppose to be around 68 so it will be better pattern probably. This pattern with 4's also was a barrel with about 10 shots. So it wasn't a clean bore. I probably squeeze a few more pellets. But I'm happy with it the way it is.

I haven't shot 4's in years. But the way these shoot I gotta go back. It might be overkill but I'll take it. They should shoot very good out of that 30" full choke. I can't wait to see your pattern pics.
Crazy good pattern with 4s. Who'd have thunk it.
I saw a friend of mine shoot this pattern his user name on here is footondaface. He has a 935 28" barrel I think, with the ssx choke. Exact same conditions as me shooting with the 4's. He said he's going to order a
case of them. Remember this is right at a 9" circle. You can add around 3/8" around this circle to make it a 10" the way I did. I had 12 more pellets in the other 3/8" witch put mine at 142 in the 10". But he counted his at 160.

. Mind you I'm shooting 3" shells. I'm getting 150's from a SumToy .650 & a Weatherby pa459 with a 18.5" barrel.

I can't imagine why. Lol. You hit the jackpot this year for sure. Mine would've probably done tried to killed me.
I told her all that over time was for a reason..she just thought it was for something "better" lol
Pretty slick thinking. Just tell her your doing it for the team.
As long as she is eating fried turkey breast by the end of April I'll be forgiven
You got that right. She will forget about it all.
Looks good! :OGani:
