General Forum / Re: Longbeard XR accuracy issu...Last post by Treerooster - Today at 03:41:34 PMQuote from: bbcoach on March 03, 2026, 09:45:10 AMThese problems of POOR LB performance go back quite a few years. The very first offerings were GREAT! Most 12's were putting up Great numbers, 250 to 280's at 40 with the right choke, for the first few years. Then things went South. Some said new wads, some said the Shot loc technology had changed but many had problems then. Today, it seems it is Hit or Miss with many offerings, if you can find them. Many went the LB route because at the time Hevi 13's were about $5 a piece, compared to a box of 10 LB's were around $20. Now many are trying to find a suitable replacement for TSS that doesn't break the bank. Those that have been around when the LB's were popular can elaborate more. History repeats itself....again. Going WAY back to when Heavier Than Lead loads first started coming out in more commercially available loads (remember Nitro Ray??) it was Envrionmetal's shell. Commonly known as "The White Shell" it was white with a roll crimp. Best turkey shell available at the time. It used HTL shot that was anything but uniform and many shot pieces clumped together. Still it worked. Broke records at a competition turkey shoot. They sold that very shell the first year. Then the next year the shell, marketed as the same one, was brown and had a folded crimp. It didn't shoot near as well. Then there was Winchester's Extended Range HTL shell. Another HTL shell that shot pretty darn good. It wasn't long before Win came out with their "Extended Range Elite" shell...which wasn't quite as good but not too bad. Then they discontinued the the Extended Range shells completely. Lesson here is if you are a dedicated turkey hunter and in it for the long haul, and are happy with what you got. Buy a bunch of the shells that work for you. A bunch! The benefit of that is you have a good supply of shells that work and no more testing needed, just regular sight-in maintenance. PLUS, over time the amount you spent on all those shells will be cheap compared to what you can buy in the distant future. It's a gamble of sorts I guess. And some guys like to tinker with gun, chokes, and loads. Nothing wrong with that except the dollars. Still it can be fun if that is your gig. #36
