I don't count hits in a 10" circle like a lot of people on here. If its a 3 1/2" gun I bet 2oz Longbeard #5s will be impressive to say the least. @ 40yds I counted 76 hits in the head using an x ray type target last year. It was a third more hits than any other load I've tried. Sixes might put up better numbers but I prefer the extra knockdown power of the fives.

Thanks for sharing....i have the 3 inch version and hope to see patterns like that with the long beards....I'll probably pick up the 5's and 6's to try out.

IC puts them in guns and has good patterns.   We run 675 in ours.

tried to find the best choke/shot combo in my 3" BPS a couple yrs ago. The pic of my spreadsheet shows results so far. PM me if you want a copy for your own use.
