Winchester longbeards

[TurkeyTamer]

Has anyone had longbeards go bad after having them for awhile?? My gun shot the #6's extremely well last season, but I got my gun out the other day and the pattern is awful. So bad I wouldn't even take it in the woods to hunt. Gun is clean and it was around 55°

Are you using shells from the same lot # you shot last year? if you bought new ones or mixed up shells from different lots they might not shoot the same. This has been an issue in the past with WIN LB's. You can find several post here on OG pertaining to this issue.
