Title: Sumtoy, Win LongBeard #5's, Mossberg 835
Post by: TBab on February 24, 2014, 11:51:30 PM
Just got my Sumtoy in the mail. Decided to see what it would do and I am impressed thoroughly. It was 39 degrees I was shooting a Mossberg 835 24'' bbl, Win. Long Beard XR 3.5'' 2oz. #5's at a lased 40 yards at the end of the barrel. Had 183 in the 10'' circle, 297 total hits.

The corners of the particle board that have shot in them were from older patterns. I tried to cut them off the best I could and marked each pellet as to not confuse with the Long Beard pattern.

I'm very happy with that and cant wait to try it again with warmer temps. Hope to be over the 200 mark.

Thanks for looking guys, Tbob

That looks good to me. I haven't shot the longbeards out of my 835. I got 4 boxes of 3.5-6's waiting.  I would rather mine be 180-190 in the 10. I don't want mine doing 250 in the 10 @40.

Eric I dont wanna be to tight close in. But I just wanna try to beat my personal best of 202 with mag blends and it would be even sweeter for me if I could do it with lead. LOL

6's you should be able to get all over the 200 mark.

You're going to want something around .690 then probably.

There is nothing wrong with that.. But I like that pattern you got. The Turkey thug's  3.5"  #5  have been around 150 in the 10 @40 in my 835. I bought several boxes of the long beards. I might try them today. These shells are a game changer for sure.

X2.  I shot 180 with a .690 Jellyhead and 260's with a .670 SSX in my 835.  That was with #6's.

I was thinking with these patterns these throw. I will probably have to use the factory .695 that come worth one of my 835's.
