You meaning Xtended Range?  If so, yes, I tried their #6 through my 2.75" 12ga Browning A5.  I got much better results with the Hevi-13 #6.  But I'm still shooting lead, does just fine for me!

YES, shot the 1 1/2 ounce load out of my WW1300 with a .655 choke.. stunning patterns out to 40 yards...mine were the #5 shot and easily would smoke any gobbler..to be honest there wasn't much difference between them and the 3 inch version, a few pellets but not all that much..

yes, I meant the Extended Range....I shot a couple birds with the 3 in shells and was impressed with the knockdown....they also would knock down a target stand.
The Hevi 13 3 in 2 oz #6s patterned the best in my Browning Maxus, but I think I'm gonna try a box of the 2 3/4 Extended Range just to compare.
Thanks
