Wanted to shoot in less than ideal conditions
« on: February 08, 2015, 04:59:26 AM »
Shot my Remington 870 sm w/ .662 hevi choke and 3.5/2/6 longbeards at a lasered 40 yds. It was abot 33 outside with 20mph winds. I wanted to see what would happen in these types of hunting conditions.

Man that would crush ol' toms head slap inside out son!!! And the best thing about it  is that it will only get better after the temp goes up a bit. I patterned my 835 w/ TG ssx yesterday w/ longbeard 3.5" 5 shot and and got awesome numbers!! Check out my pattern in the patterns section titled 835 w/ ssx :turkey2:si :turkey2:

I doubt it. I'm happy with it but I didn't think it was as good as alot I've seen on here. Those longbeards are great shells though.
