Title: Winchester SX2 .675 SumToy 3.5 Win LB #5 40 yards 43 degrees

Tried the LongBeards with a more open choke...pretty happy with the 20" coverage, other tighter chokes have shot better 10" numbers but left nearly nothing for the 10-20" for #5 shot 164 in 10" and another 106 in 10-20" seems like this would be a fine hunting pattern would only tighten on a warmer day...what do you guys think? POA/POI was pretty good too nothing to worry about.

That is pretty dang good for a 43 degree day.  That pattern will increase some on a 60 degree day.

I really like 5's and would be totally satisfied with your pattern!  Great for hunting Mr Tom!!! Had a SX2 and should've NEVER sold it... :camohat:

That is darn near perfect for hunting, exspecially if you are using just the beads for aiming.

I like a little more open pattern with my old school 11-87. I only use the beads on this gun and a more open pattern allows for a little margin for error with the slightly less precise aiming system.
