Those are generally very good shells...definitely worth trying out.

Those were the gold standard for lead shells before the longbeards came out.

If you shot winchester's before longbeards then thats probably one of the choices you had to choose from. Good shells.

Wish I had a case of the 3/2/6 XX Magnums. Turkey killers there.

You didn't tell your wife she messed up, did you? Furthermore, I hope you didn't tell her you traded them.
I had a couple boxes of the XX and a couple boxes of the LBs. I liked the pattern from the LBs so much, I never bothered to shot the XXs. I would be interested to know how they shoot.

We expose ourselves to a synergistic negative effect if we tell our better half that she screwed up buying the wrong shells. Hell, my wife wouldn't even suggest to do me such a favor.
