Hevi shot to Long Beard XR?

Most reviews I found on YouTube and elsewhere showed the XR's a tighter group at long range.  That's what I've gone with and haven't missed a turkey yet at reasonable range.

They are comparing it at 60 yards, which is too far for any load, let alone a lead load? As they were advocating, anything beyond 40, the XR's were the better choice, great advice!

I switched when I bought a new 835 last year.   I wasn't interested in trying to find a choke the hevis liked.   The first box of 3 inch #5's patterened unbelievably out of the stock Turkey choke.

Small Hevi shot in turkey breast = cracked tooth, dental implant and $4,000 bill.

After many years of shooting Federal copper plated 4's I went to Hevi for about five years and now I switched to LB #4. I get 120-150 in 10" at 40 yds.  Still plenty enough to consistently kill a bird but fewer and bigger pellets means less pellets end up in my mouth. Trust me, those little, hard pellets are tough on teeth and I am surprised more people don't talk about cracked teeth on OG.

Good luck and keep your shots high if you go with Hevi Shot.
