I can't come up with my targets from last year. It's been raining so much here in Georgia lately that I haven't had a chance to shoot again since the top post. If I can shoot this weekend I'll test longbeard xr#6 with the three chokes i have.

Pattern master code black .565
Carlson's long beard .568
Briley (Winchester sx3 long beard factory choke) .570

Thanks! I'm ordering the 20 Gauge SX3 NWTF model soon, wondering if it's worth also picking up the Carlson's choke.

I've been happy with the Carlson's long beard. I also put one in my daughters Stoeger m3020 compact and it patterns just as well as mine. My hunting buddy is also running one in his Stoeger m3000 with long beard xr#6. It seems to be a good choke for the price.

Ordered one tonight for $33 along with 4 boxes of LB XR #6's. Can't wait to get it all here.

Here is a 50 yard test today with the same setup as my original post.  Just wanted to see what it would do.
