3.5 Winchester Longbeard 6s vs. 3.5 HeviShot 7s

[dreis3]

Decided to take advantage of the absolutely gorgeous weather we had here today and go pattern the new Winchester Longbeard XR's... After reading all the great things about them and seeing the price compared to HeviShot, I had to give em a try.  I shot both the Longbeard XRs in 6 shot and the Hevi 7s thru my Mossberg 535 with a red dot scope and an Indian Creek choke.  Here are the pics side by side.  First pic is 30, the second 40, the third 50, the single pic is the Longbeards at 60 just for kicks; I didn't shoot a Hevi at 60.  I'm very impressed with these shells!  Longbeards are on the left of each pic with the Hevi's on the right.

I look into my crystal ball and I see dead turkeys in your future.


Great patterns right there.
the only question I have with the longbeards is a close shot 15-20 yes.
I will be doing some testing next week.

[WVHills]

Those are outstanding!
 
I'd love to see your 15-20 yrd testing.      Good luck!
