All I have to say is with the LongBeards and Turkey Thug shells, there is no longer any need for HTL!

This pattern was shot in 50 degree weather so maybe get a few more in there when it gets a little warmer.
I agree 100%..... the velocity of the longbeard 3" at 1200 and the hevi 3" at 1090 i guess the energy would about be the same. And hevi changes their components about every year.Tried new box of mag blends this year and they suck!!!!!!

I think you will be surprised at patterns. I have not found a gun or choke that wouldn't kill at forty. I even shot it with factory full choke and got like 120s
