Title: Patterned again today with my SumToy .650
Post by: memert116 on April 06, 2014, 05:42:16 PM
One picture is the Longbeard XR #5's and the second picture is with Hevi Shot Magnum Blends 5x6x7's.  Both shots are at 30 yards.  Both hit a tad low....I have a 26" barrel and only a front bead.   Next year I may put better sights on it.  I think I'm going to hunt with the Hevi Shot.....what do you guys think?

My buddy and I were saying the same thing.   Not exactly what I want to happen though.

I'd try it farther away, before determining what one to use.

Sumtoy .650 and magblends shoot very tight patterns. If you want to open it up a bit at 30 yrds with that choke you might want to try some turkey thug 5s or ww grey box 5s with it and you should still have a plenty good enough pattern density at 40. If your going to use either of those loads you patterned I'd get a sight on it for sure! That's going to behead any bird at that range!

You may try the 6's.  That may open the pattern up. 

Now Me I like that  :turkey2: :blob10:

You just need to see more bead on the target and you will be fine or else raise that sight picture just a grunt. You don't really need other sights. That gun is on brother.

Put the bead on the beak and pull the trigger
