Pictured is an 870 pattern with the new Winchester long beard tss loads . One is with a tru glo head banger .665 the other a sumtoy .660. Pretty impressed, though it is a slightly heavier load out to its competitors ,it still IMO is better . Now I haven't shot tons of it ... these are the only 2. Perhaps it could be improved on ... don't have time . Tit for tat ounce for ounce my hand loads still hold the record for me. But this is nervously close .

That's incredible! I can't imagine how good your handloads must look

within 9 pellets...but 1/8 oz less shot. so yeah the handloads have a slight edge. However...ive went around the world on chokes with the handloads, barrel honing, etc... I have not with the win....other things to consider is the win is fold crimp, while the hand loads are rolled. I would love to do a fold crimp variant of my handload...i genuinely believe it would edge out the win completely
