This paper is 9x11 i believe. Lets just say im not too pleased. It is a 3" gun and looks as though ill have to with 3". Just figured i would give it a whirl!

i would try the 3in #5 or #4 in the new long beard shell they are doing great in almost all guns it seems I havnt found a combo that will not throw killing patterns with them yet, I even shot the 3in #5 longbeards through a improved cylinder choke in my Mossberg 835 and wouldn't hesitate to use it!

Not sure what the distance is, but whatever it is it is beyond the max range for that shell/gun combo. Good luck with the LBs.
