Winchester really dropped the ball getting these new loads in the store.

nyhunter

maybe they'll have them out by the 4th of july :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an...  :bike2:

Gt an email saying mine shipped today.

Until 5 months ago Winchester denied that such a product existed.....they had them at the convention last weekend...they shipped to stores today...... ;D

That means they have been working on R&D, load development, and marketing plans for more than a year.
50% of the country is still gripped by winter, only a handful of southern states have an ultra-early opener. Most guys still have 5-7 weeks to try them before their opening date. I think Winchester did pretty good......

Shot some this weekend thru my 870 youth and wasnt that impressed with them. Think I'll stick with the heavy weight 7's.

Shot same gun, same choke. Was blown out, but still consistent. I think its the ultimate youth load, but for straight up killing, its Sumtoy and Fed 7s.
Those LBXRs will be a great shelf load. And alot of birds will fall to them. But not in my guns.

Everyone save your money if your satisfied with your set up. A friend and I tried them in 5's and 6's in different Guns mine a sa08 and his a m2 and there just ok out of ic555 my friend also tried a rob Roberts choke with just okay results.

None I have seen around either.

I'm not calling anyone liars so don't take me wrong. But where is the pictures of these patterns and where did you get the shells? I've yet to see a single pattern posted nor can I find a box of shells to buy and try for myself.

slicksbeagles1

They sold them at the NWTF convention.

Pictures? I'd like to see some patterns

Izzyjoe

Me too! I hardly think they could throw patterns like the 12ga, but they can't be that bad could they.
