Win double x 3" HV vs magnum..........red vs black

[scdxt]

I have shot both just wanting to see which is used most? Might play with these again I have 9 different chokes for rem. I'm shooting longbeards this year but like to mess with patterning

I have a couple of boxes of the Red 3" 2oz #6's .....Those do somewhere around 135-145 in the 10" @ 40 for me.  I really like that load too!!!

I have some of my chokes listed in pattern section under 11-87 bunch of chokes. I wonder which choke would do best with these in #5 and #6

As Forrest Gump would say,my old 1100 3" magnum and the (red) XX magnum shells are like peas and carrots.

Better patterns out of Win XX 3/2/6's than the HV 3/ 1 3/4/ 6's. More shot and a little slower velocity seems to make for tighter patterns out of my guns. Killed allot of turkey's with the Win Super-X           3/ 1 7/8 / 6's. Close 2nd, red shell as well.

I've killed alot of birds with the HV shells, but I always liked the idea of trying the old red double-x loads out of curiousty.

I get better patterns out of the cheap Graybox shells (3-1&7/8-6) than with the HV or XX shell (26" 1187)

Hard to beat the performance/ price of those Win Super X. For 9.99, it's about the best bang for the buck when it comes to Winchester lead.

My brother and I have tried both. He shoots a Browning Maxus 28" barrel with a kick's choke and his gun likes the red shells better. I shoot a 20 inch Remington supermag with a kick's .665 choke and my gun likes the black shells best. We both get about 100 pellets in 10 in circle at 40 yards, I cant wait to try the new long beard loads.
