New shells

[rdmar]

Ok I had thought about switching from 3.5 to 3 in cause I heard they will hold a tighter patter is this true. Second I was wonder which shells he vi shot 6 or 7 or the longbeard 5 or 6. If the 3 in hold a tighter  pattern what yardage is my limit. I currently shoot a stoger m 3500 with a sum toy 665 choke he vi shot 7s with a Burris fast fire iii.
Thanks for your help

40 yds. or less my friend.  Just make sure you pattern them.

Good Luck !!!!

Only time spent at the patterning board will answer your question about tightness. The yardage question is often debated, but I prefer 40yds and closer.

Hevi over longbeards all day every day... Don't know about 3" being better than 3.5"...  I would think 3.5" would have to better because of the pellet count difference but I could be way wrong...

Thanks guys was just trying to see what everybody said before I went out and spent the money what about shot size

[taylorjones20]

Hevi #6 or #7 would be my personal preference...

Yea I shoot 7s now just didn't know if the long beards were good enough to switch to even if I kept 3.5s

Most guys on here have really good success with the longbeards. I'm not really a fan. I like the performance of the HTL loads. Just personal preference.  I personally would not switch from Hevi to longbeards....
