Here are the #5 Longbeards with various chokes and the 11-87 3 1/2 inch 23inch barrel at 40yards lasered. 55degrees out.Barrel was polished last year , a bore snake was used in between shots.Lee
Those 5's look great!!!
that will work all day long :icon_thumright:
Will try my 870 3inch next when it warms again. Lee
I love the pattern from the JH .665! They all look good, but that's the one I would hunt with.
Good work! :icon_thumright:

Yes that is my favorite as well. My JH chokes always have done well. I just picked up this JH 665 to add to my 660. When it gets warm again i am gonna try the 3 inch 5&6's through my 870.Lee
Great looking patterns...
That's a great looking pattern. I bought the 5's and 6's to try out when it finally warms up and quits snowing. I have a jellyhead .665 and from your results it looks like a great combo with the longbeard #5's. Thanks

Great looking pattern for #5 lead at 40!
That will put em in the dirt!
Those are some great looking 5's!
great #5 pattern
:icon_thumright: Nice load of 5s
I have always liked #5 lead..I will shoot this combo this year through the JH .665 in my 3 1/2. 11-87. As soon as it warms up i will run the 3. inch through my 870 to see how it does. Lee
Would love to see that.
Dirt nap for sure. :firefighter:

That's some awesome patterns.
I dug this thread up in a search, as I'm looking to try the Longbeards this year, and hoped the OP could answer a few questions.
I have the same gun and choke JH .665 and really liked that pattern in the 5's. I always used 6's in Hevi, but when using lead, I can't see going any smaller than 5's.
Questions? Which load was that in the 5's 3.5 2oz. or 2 1/8 oz. ?
And how was that pattern at 20 yards? Thanks
What choke was used in the last pattern?
I picked up 2 boxes of LB #5's for my 11-87 21" barrel I have not gotten to shoot them yet waiting on my vent rib TruGlo sights for it first. I can't wait to shoot a few rounds off out of my gun as this gun has killed many geese this year with a Carlsons Long range IM choke and steel shot can't wait to blow some LB's through it.
