Yeah the mag blends are deadly and patterned great for me. I know there's a lot of gimicky stuff out there in the ammo world but I like the idea behind the mag blends(5,6,7), and as I said they patterned great out of almost every combo I used.
This year I did go with the Longbeard #6's, and again I don't traditionally go with the new "hottest" thing on the market, but these patterned great and I killed my longbeard stone dead at 36 steps this year. Not that 36 steps is far, but I was confident with that load from 10-45 with the 6's.
