LB 3.5". 5's or 6's. ???

[Clint Shook]

Debating between 5 and 6 shot in 3.5" longbeards.    Bps 665 IC.   


Opinions?

I shot the 3" 5s and 6s in my .665" undertaker and the 6s out shoot the 5s by about 80 pellets.

[Clint Shook]

Do the fives give you more range or call it 40 yds ish and shoot 6's?   

[sonofabuck]

I'm having the same dilemma myself.  The 5s are decent 130ish,but the 6s 176 in 10" @40.  The 6s are really even with almost no gaps.  I'll probably go with 6s as I really don't see myself shooting past 40 anyway.

[Clint Shook]

You shooting 3 or 3.5"?

[MuddyRiver]

I'm a fan of #4's.    More energy at longer distances if your gun will pattern them.   

[sonofabuck]

You shooting 3 or 3.5"?

Sorry.   3" with Sumtoy .650

If you don't go over 150 with a BPS and a IC .665 with the 3.5" LB 5's I would be very surprised. With that said, if you do get a good pattern it would be a no brainer to me. Definitely a little more wiggle room around 40 with the 5's.

[FttFttVroom!]

After getting 236 with the 3.5" #6 load, I'm very curious how close to 200 I can get with #5's.  I'm gonna have to try em out and see

[Clint Shook]

Let us know how many you get with the 5's. 

[SKFOOTER]

I'm getting 140's in the 10" @ 40 yards shooting the 3.5" Long Beard #4's thru my Benelli SBE/Jellyhead .655 setup.

I'm getting 140's in the 10" @ 40 yards shooting the 3.5" Long Beard #4's thru my Benelli SBE/Jellyhead .655 setup.   

that is impressive

[R AJ]

If you are into under 40 yards the 6s would be my choice; open fields,etc. and possible long shots then the 5s but only after knowing your pattern. These shells don't mind the tighter chokes as a 655 in #6s in my 3" chamber,22" bbl BPS is going to be my 12 gauge choice.

[Clint Shook]

my buddies are getting good patterns with 655's in 5's and 6's.  I'm searching for an inv + 655 myself.

[Clint Shook]

Just bought the 5's.  3.5".
