For an 870 shooting the Longbeards(3" #6s)and the Win. black box 3" #6s.Any opinion/preference/experiences?

Will NOT be using any HTL from this setup so that will not be part of the equation.Lead only.Thanks.

Made quite a difference for myself. That's why I went ahead and bought both when they were on sale.

What length barrel does your 870 have, JakesDad??

.660 would be better for 6's

Kicks all day long, and as a plus they are American made

I shoot a Kicks .660 from my 870, tried the JellyHead in a couple different guns and have not been impressed.

Thanks for info.  Wanted one for my son's 20 gauge 870.

Hello Tom Foolery,

The kicks .660 put me over 100 with the 3" HV 5's with the 28" bbl. Thanks. Trying the 21" bbl when it warms up. Looking forward to seeing what these Win LB shells will do with the kicks .655 and .660. If it's lead I stick with Kicks. Jellyhead has given me good pattern results with HTL and Nitro but the POA/POI goes way off requiring additional sights or red dot to reel it in. So much so I sold the JH chokes.
