Title: My results with Long beard xr ammo
Post by: SpitNDrumN on March 14, 2014, 08:14:04 AM
Right now I only have results at 30 yards will post 40 and 50 yard results when I shoot them.

Yards: 30
Gun: Winchester 1300 laminated NWTF Edition
Barrel: 24"
Choke: Undertaker .665
Ammo: Winchester Long Beard XR
Shot Size: 6
Oz: 1 3/4

In a 8" circle I totaled up 188 pellets. I broke the circle into 4 sections which totaled 63, 49, 39, and 37 pellets.

I'd go to a .650 to .655 for #6 shot, and a .665 for #5 shot.  My son in law has a NWTF 1300 that has a .665 choke in it and it shoots a pattern so tight with #5 shot that  I would not hunt with it, a little off one way or the other with aiming and I would miss the turkey.  I don't think you could go wrong with a .665 choke and #5 shot Long beard's, if you are looking for a tight pattern.
