Title: new longbeards
Post by: Prohunter3509 on March 31, 2016, 07:38:56 PM
I was gonna buy another box of longbeards before our mo. Trip
But all I find is the new ones . 1050 fpr
How do they stack up against the 2 oz. 1200 gps
I new I should bought 8 or 10 boxes b4 they changed things up
My ? Is how well it patterns @nd slowing up to 1050 how much will it change energy on shot at 40 or so.

You will get your answer when you shoot it through your gun

They didnt change things they just offered more options. You can still get the ones you like.

I started loading TSS and have several boxes. It's a mix of 4's, 5's and 6's. I'll probably be selling them soon if no one local takes them first.

Correct. My gun prefers the slow shot when patterning.

My 870 like the 3.5 #4s in the slower load. The 2 gobblers I killed this year didn't notice any difference.
