Title: Win Long Beard is real.
Post by: SumToy on December 17, 2013, 09:20:24 PM
Ok folks I did some testing today with few set ups.  This shell is for real.  I think that the other shell companies better step up.  This shell will SMOKE a bird at 40 yards ALL DAY LONG.  We will see what it sales for but I know it will be under the HTL loads.   Now if you want a dead bird you need to look into this stuff.  Now if you the guy that want to see how dead you can kill him you may not like it. 

Patterns are posted in the Pattern section.  We hit 249 at 40 out a 20 inch Rem.

Wow. That is outstanding. Holds a pattern better than many #6 heavy shot loads. Will be interested to see what the penetration tests show.

Have you had a chance to shoot any 5s?  And have you shot any in the benellis yet?

I will test the 5's next day or so.  We plan on a SBEII next day or so.  I think it is going to be like the Beretta MC guns.
