Went out to academy last week to pick up some turkey loads, they had tons and tons of  #5 longbeard. Not much of anything else. Figured Id try them.

First shot was a bit high at 40 yards, adjusted and pulled a little right on the second 40 yard shot. Figured what the hell and gave 50 yards a try. Not horrid, but not much different than anything else Ive shot. 40-45 = dead birds!

Remington 870 Express 12g, 20 inch barrel with rifle sights.
Gobble stopper choke
LongBeard #5 3" 1 3/4oz

Like the pattern, seems like Winchester Long Beard shells in lead can't be beat, and I like the #5's
