Jellyhead for Remingtons only come in .660 and .665.

That's some awesome patterns.

I dug this thread up in a search, as I'm looking to try the Longbeards this year, and hoped the OP could answer a few questions.

I have the same gun and choke JH .665 and really liked that pattern in the 5's. I always used 6's in Hevi, but when using lead, I can't see going any smaller than 5's.

Questions? Which load was that in the 5's 3.5 2oz. or 2 1/8 oz. ?

And how was that pattern at 20 yards? Thanks

What choke was used in the last pattern?

I picked up 2 boxes of LB #5's for my 11-87 21" barrel I have not gotten to shoot them yet waiting on my vent rib TruGlo sights for it first. I can't wait to shoot a few rounds off out of my gun as this gun has killed many geese this year with a Carlsons Long range IM choke and steel shot can't wait to blow some LB's through it.
