Shot the Long Beard 3" #6's through a SumToy .650 using the Weatherby PA-459 (18.5" Barrel) 10,20 & 40 yards.  Still VERY PLEASED!!!  Here are the results.....

That looks pretty tight? I was shooting the ssx out of my winchester 1300 and my 20 was that tight. I opened it up a bit.

I shot low brass #8 bird shot at 10 & 20 too and it was just as tight!

Just hold it on him got and you should be fine. But old tom on the other hand will have a headache for sure.

Looks good, about the same results I got. I agree, really no different at close range than other loads I've tried.

Quoteno different at close range than other loads I've tried

Less Choke would open up this pattern, and other patterns as well, if that is someone's goal.

Not always so, I shot 20 yds with these through a kick's .680 and a IC .665 and you couldn't tell enough difference to matter. At 40 yds. the difference was big. I was talking at 20 and in. and the LB's being no tighter than any of the other turkey loads that I normally shoot out of my tighter chokes.
