Long Beard 2 3/4" shells??

[ahfox16]

I've got an 870 with 2 3/4" chamber and want to try the new Long Beard in 2 3/4" size 5.  Can't seem to find any to try as they are all out of stock.  Anyway, has anyone tried the shorter LB shells and if so what were the results.  Thanks

im sure they're just as hard to find as the 20ga longbeards at the moment, but i too am curious to see what kind of patterns folks will get with these shells.  i think it could be a good option for recoil sensitive people or kids.

I ordered the Winchester Rooster loads after seeing some of the patterns on here.  I'm going to run them through my great grandfathers 1929 Stevens with a 2.75" chamber.

I've been wanting to try some of those Roosters myself, I have several 2.75 shotguns that are just begging to hit the woods!

Are those rooster loads really any different from the longbeard in those  2 3/4" loads?
