Title: Tried the dirty Long Beards
Post by: albrubacker on March 23, 2014, 09:48:35 AM
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"

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

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

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.

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
