The only pure lead shell I`ve ever shot ( 3" #6 ). I think it`s the only pure lead shell you need to shoot.

I shoot the Longbear XR's if that is what you are talking about. I shoot 3" #6's and love them. I do not shoot over 40 yards though.

I haven't missed yet in three years using 3 1/2" 6's, Win Longbeard XR. Deadly swarm of little bees that like each others company down range! Out of a Rem 870 Predator/Turkey SPS w/ 20" barrel, deadly combo.
