Couple of patterns at 35 degrees.
Pretty good!
That should slam em.
Pretty good right there, them 4's are nasty.
Did that top target put up 152?!?! W/ a 650 choke? If so, that's STOUT!! Congrats...
1st Target:Trulock .680 142/10"
2nd Target:Trulock .680 114/10"
Very nice.would love to see that same combo with #6.i Have the same gun with ic650.going to test it with win Longbeard 3" and31/2" #6 .when the weather breakes.But that will do the job.
That's bad to the bone! Lots of energy in those 4's. :icon_thumright:
that would pack a serious punch...definitely good numbers for 4's...assume the 142 was shot 1 and 114 was shot 2 without cleaning?
That's correct, learn2hide.
Nice!I have a small stash of those in 3"It's a shame they discontinued them.

These are the new Longbeard #4's, not the original Xtended Range 4's.
A couple more patterns from today.
Sorry. Pics are upside down. One is 131/10" and the other is 126/10". Same setup, temp. around 45 degrees today.
Whoops! my reading comprehension skills have been on the fritz lately!Real good numbers for lead 4's,especially at that temp.
I would hunt with either one of those patterns
That's crazy! Some guns can't get that with #6!

I love it!!! I was in Gander Mountain yesterday and they have the 4's and 6's in stock in 3.5". I knew from what I was seeing that #4 shot would make a comeback. Would love to see what it looks like when the temps are in the 50-65 range.
Would you guys stick with this or try another choke? Sumtoy, I would love to have your input as well.
I say stay with what you got. Lead 4's have never had this capability, this combo will flat smash a turkeys head!

I'm definitely no Sumtoy but with that pattern of #4s I'd sure be curious to see what #5s do for you as they would definitely have plenty of energy at 40 while still being able to break bone. On the other hand if those 4s look like that at 40 then at 30 there may be close to the whole load of shot being inside the 10 .
I'd like to see what that gun/shell combo does thru a tighter choke, say .665-.670??? It wouldn't surprise me if it put more pellets in the 10". :OGturkeyhead:
That will do it every time. I'd much rather shoot those 4's with those numbers than the 6's any day.

I missed this some way. Now We have been in the 120 rang with 3 inch and 140 rang with 31/2. Now We have not set down to try and get target patterns with the loads as of now. We have been more into the hunting patterns. Now Your patterns are in line with most and you may pick up a few but is it worth the money to buy a choke to get a few more shot???? Like always "How dead is dead"
