I have a 535 and a ssx but have never shot longbeards with ssx.  Indian creek choke is what i shoot and with 3 inch #6 i got 177 in 10 circle at 40 yards , when you shoot the longbeards thru the ssx post up some pics

I patterned a SBE II with SSX 3.5 #5
My best pattern was 200 in ten inch circle at 40 yards . The cleaner the barrel the better the pattern. Shot 4 times and the other three were 190,178,195. I tried to post picture but file is too big.

I've shot the 3" 6s through my 835/SSX it did pretty good at 160 in the 10" with a barrel that probably hasn't been cleaned.... Ever!  (Bought it used)
