Well, here is my contribution to the Winchester Longbeard saga.

I picked up some 3 1/2" #6 Longbeards the other day, and I gave them a try today. I was shooting my 870 with a 26" barrel,  .662 Hevi-shot tube, about 45 degrees and no wind. I shot from a taped 40 yards. I also shot one time using the factory choke. Overall I am very impressed, best patterns I have ever got with lead. I will probably pick a couple more boxes of these up and when the last of the Hevi-Shot is used up, I will most likely start using these. I do not see how I can go wrong with these for the price and results I got. These 2 are with the Hevi-Shot tube, 10" circle.
Thanks Tom

That's crazy.. I can't wait to find 6s. 3" 5s I shot today were too tight IMO for me to hunt with. 6s might be the answer however.....

Got some 3" 6's to try out when the weather cooperates. I've had enough winter here in WY!
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

Those are some great numbers.  I am getting even more anxious to test mine out.  I picked up a box of the 3" #6's since that's all I could find around here.
