I have a Hevishot tube that loves mag blend but I don't like paying $35 for 5 shells. Have any of you guys used the Longbeard XR out of a Hevishot tube? I've heard nothing but good stuff about them....
Which gun there Tank?

Browning Maxus and a Rem 11-87 both love the Mag Blend.
I have used that Hevi-choke in a 870 Sm 26" barrel with 3" longbeards.
137 10" with 4's
174 10" with 5's
189 10" with 6's
And for comparison
175 10" with magblends.

Ok thanks for the examples! I'm going to grab me a couple boxes!!!!!
I think you'll be glad you did...my 870 sm with a 20in barrel loves 4s and 6s through the .662 heavy shot choke.
My 26" Browning Maxus patterned astronomically better with Longbeard XR #6 than Magnum Blend at 50 yards off a bench rest through the Hevishot tube .662.
I've got pattern pics to prove it if you want I can text or email them to you.
Keep in mind that is through my gun so it would only be a reference point for your setup as all guns shoot differently.

I have a .664 restriction, but please send me your pics I would love to see them. I will compare them to my bottomland maxus @ 50 yards and send them back to you. 225-nine two one-7125 THANKS!!
I get about even numbers with both LB 6's and hevi 6's. Ive got tons of hevi but if I ever run out I would just use the LB's...
