I shot some 3" LB 4 shot yesterday with about 67 degrees. Shooting Ben SN 26" with ported Trulock.660 @ 40yrds. These shells were almost like shooting a muzzleloader. Smoke went everywhere.
Not a bad pattern though for 4 shot. 137 in 10"
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.

that will do it ive gotten better patterns with double x high velocities but if they stop making them ill use the long beards as a second choice
may god bless the ethical and responsible hunters and to everybody kill a big one.  jerry

that wasn't smoke it was the broken up resin it turns into a powder that looks like smoke as it leaves the barrel, the resin almost turns into a sugar looking substance and that pattern will kill all day long

Great killing pattern for 4's! May have to pick up a box. Thx for sharing!

That's what I noticed, I shot 4 shells and the barrel was pretty clean. It was allot cleaner than any other shell I've ever shot.

BTW  that's a great looking pattern.

Well that sounds like another plus!

Nice pattern!  I had a go pro mounted on my gun last year and I shot at a turkey at 20 yards with the longbeard #5. I missed the turkey so I watched the video to see where the pattern went... Well, I couldn't see anything except a white cloud between the gun and the turkey.  I still can't figure out how I missed that turkey. lol
