I know everyone else in the world is TSS but I'm one of the holdouts.
Cutting to the chase, I've been shooting longbeard XR for the last handful of years. Today I went out to pattern my gun and make sure all was well. It was...until I opened up the new box of XRs. My 40 yard pattern went from 80-100 pellets of 5 shot, in a 10" circle down to 38. That's the only one I counted but the next shot was just as abysmal. I then went back to 20 yards and I don't think I had 50 pellets in the circle compared to the 120+ or whatever I had just minutes before. It's like the new packaging came with a whole new load!
Anyway, just seeing if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Whatever else they changed, besides packaging, my gun doesn't like it. Back to the federal grand slams! A very comparable pattern, the XR was just a hair tighter, again, until today.
