Those are impressive numbers for a 1.25 oz shell. They are as good as most any 3" pre-LB shell with any payload. They do, however, appear to be a bit "patchy".

Thanks for sharing! I was just looking at these in 20ga.
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

Well at least i don't think so? Believe you are looking at a different shell. These have the resin like the longbeards.

BHMTitan

Yeah -- Winchester has yet to make the LongBeards or Roosters in 20g.  Hopefully they'll see the light and do so!

Great patterns for that shell for sure. :OGturkeyhead:

I think those shells would make a great lower recoil shell for kids or ladies. Especially when shot through a heavier 12 ga.

Yes.  From original post, 40y: "Rooster 1.25oz #6 -- Hevi Shot 0.664 choke; two shots: 124 and 131"
