????Longbeards and #4???? Just a thought???

[Gooserbat]

So I had this idea, if the patterns are as good as they seem to be why not shoot #4.  I mean what if you could get 100, 120, or even 140+ #4 lead in 10" @ 40.  I must check this out.

I'm buying a bunch of 4s for predator hunting. May not use for turkeys but I'm sure they'll be heck on bobcats and coyotes at 35 and in.

#4's would pack a mean punch in Hevi-Shot. I thought about getting some for thick stuff.

[catdaddy]

I've killed a bunch of turkeys with 4's.

[savduck]

Used to be my load of choice back in the all lead days. Killed a bunch of them with 4s.

[hotrod3h]

Just my personal opinion but I've always shot #4's. Easier to find as well seems there always out of 5's & 6's.

[Rokhal07]

I still hunt w #4s.

[budtripp]

I've never had a gun that would pattern 4's worth a darn but you may be onto something witb the longbeards. I may be tempted to try some

[jblackburn]

If it not over choked, should be fine.  I've never been able to get my 835 to pattern them well, even with more open chokes.  These Longbeard loads are interesting, but I've not seen them up here in the NW yet.

I've killed a bunch of turkeys with 4's.

Me too.  I shoot  Hevi 7's now though.

[surehuntsalot]

my 835 with the factory full choke loves #4's

[Eric Gregg]

I found a box of Hevi-Shot straight #4's in a store the other day. I wish I would have picked them up..

 If you got that many pellets at 40 yds with #4's you've got the perfect choke! Since there are only 135 pellets per oz.  if I had half of your numbers @ 40 yds I'd be all over 4's, they hit so much harder than 5's or 6's do down range you don't need over a 100 to get the job done!

[ol bob]

I shoot a 835 with a pure gold choke it will put more shot in 10 inches with #4 than 5 or 6.
