Title: Win LongBeard #5 and #6. What should I expect?
Post by: deerbasshunter3 on March 27, 2015, 07:39:44 AM
I am currently patterned with the LongBeard #6 3". I also have a full box of LongBeard #5 3". Should I expect a different POI between the two or is it going to be the same since they are both the same brand/shell length, just different shot?

Best advise is to never ask. You gotta pattern each load n see what's best density wise, poi, etc

Choot 'em and see. I have gotten a bruised shoulder and burned several dollars worth of ammo over the last week as well as spent  $100 dollars on used tubes to see what my rig will do. Only way to find out is burn some powder, don't speculate. More time at the pattern board =more turkey.

I got 96 in a 10" circle at 60 yards with the #6. I like the numbers in case I misjudge the distance, but am also worried that it won't kill past 40 if I misjudge the distance.
