Not me............ I've been loading my own for a couple years now and have enough Hevishot and HeavyWeight to last awhile.  Plus I enjoy it.

However, these new LB's have something going for them.  I'm glad to see the great patterns that guys are getting with them.  I read where a guy ran them through a chrono and some went as much as 1337fps.  I suspect we'll see several dead gobblers that were taken with this new shell.

Someone did some redneck "soup can" penetration testing I read and said he though they are good for shots to 40yds and a bit beyond if you misjudge the distance, but they runout of steam faster than Hevishot or Heavyweight.  Remember, its still lead shot and all things being equal, can't "carry the mail" like the HTL shot can.

The prices these have been selling for are great. No bad lot numbers either.

good point i also no longer have to search lot numbers but on a serious note i hope everyone of those hevi shells brings you home a big ole thunder chicken my friend

[davisd9]

Same to you buddy! Nothing wrong with them longbeards, they will kill all day everyday at 40.  I just need less flopping so I can get after number 2 of the day quicker.

This stuff shoots great and honestly I do not shoot past 40 yards.....for me personally it just makes sense.

X-2
It makes a lot of sense to me as well. I have a few boxes of the M.B left. When it's done,it's done. I can't see myself spending 30 somtin bucks for 5 shells anymore. 1st chance I get,I'll get a few boxes of the new L.B.   

[VaTuRkStOmPeR]

No intentions of ever shooting anything other than HTL.

I've evaluated the Winchester Long Beard 3", 6's and 5's, and got the best patterns I've ever seen with lead.  With that said, the patterns which I get w/ EM Hevi-13, 3" & 31/2", 5's, 6's, and 7's are all significantly better w/ superior penetration.  My stash of the green Remington tungsten, "old white" Polywad tungsten and EM Hevi-13's shells in both 3' and 31/2" should last me for another 20-25 years, and who knows what might be available "down the pike" if I ever do run out.
