Winchester Longbeard are the real deal. My M1 will put 140 shot in a 10inch circle OR more every time at 40 yards. That is a 3 inch no 6 shell. Compared the Hevi-13 I have shot the last 3 or 4 years and Longbeard with the lower price is the way to go. I bought 10 boxes so I will never be short again!
With that being said, the Hevi-13 can be heard hitting the board at 40 yards,,so I would say the Hevi-13 will hit harder,,but I belive the Winchester will hit plenty hard enough.
Did notice that the Winchester in all 4 guns we shot last Friday, shot about 6 to 8 inches lower then the Hevi-13..
BRING ON FLA!!
