Hey Goblr77, have you run any of these 3.5 Win LB's through your xtrema/h13 choke? Just curious..trying to hold buying some 3.5 until I see some Beretta results.

No. I haven't bought or shot any 12 gauge loads since I switched over to hunting with a 20 ga full time. I still have the Xtrema and a stockpile of Hevi 7s...the good lots. I'm keeping them just in case. My brother shot some LB #5s through his 835 and they weren't very impressive. I hear the 5s aren't good for some reason and I believe it from seeing his patterns. They put up decent 10" numbers when squeezed through a TG SSX but the overall 20" pattern was spotty. They were awful through a Jellyhead .690. Fed Turkey Thug 3.5" #5s had a good looking pattern through his gun and the Jellyhead. Not super high 10" numbers but a dang good, even pattern overall.

Thanks, I have allot of the 3.5 7's as well, probably gonna shoot the 3.5 hevi 6's and hang on to the 7's. Most of the Win LB 5 patterns I have seen were spotty in the 20". I'm gonna run the Win LB 3" 6's in a couple of my 870/kicks lead slingers. Killed a couple of turkey's last year with the Beretta 20g/ Hevi 13 choke/ Fed HW 7's.  Combo is bad medicine on the turkey's.

I really need to try some of these new shells. Do they offer these in 20 gauge as well?

Bass Pro has them in stock. Just ordered 2 boxes 3" 6's.
