Didn't get quite the results with 3.5" #5 LB that I got with the 3", but were talking two different guns. The #6's did real well though, definitely pleased with those in this gun. Don't get me wrong both numbers are more than enough and something I never thought I'd see in a lead shell. Both shots at a taped 40 at 64 degrees. I really think this gun would do better with a .665 with the #5's
