I shot them for years until they came out with the XR shells.  The #5's patterned great in a GT .665 out of a Rem 11-87 Special Purpose

I shoot em out of my 870 with a jellyhead .665. I usually go with the #5, but also #6s if i have them on hand.

I shoot the Win X #6 in my 2.75" 12ga Browning A5.  For me they pattern just a bit better for than the XX.
