835 and ssx

[Tbrady835]

I will post pattern pics later under appropriate section, but right now I just have to tell someone!!! I finally got my hands on some longbeard #5 shot, and sent it down range through my mossy 835 and .670 SSX, and I couldn't be happier!! I shot two shots at 40, and 1 was 187 and the other was 188 in the ten!!!! Don't know what y'all think but that's quite a few number 5's going to ol toms noggin.

If that don't kill one nothing will. Can't wait to see the pics.

BTW, my 835 has 24" bbl, and those were 3.5" 2oz. 5's, it was a lasered 40, and the temp here today is 60 degrees

Sounds like awesome numbers, I bet with the new weight in the longbeards the numbers will climb even higher!

That's a lot of lead! Congratulations.

I have the same gun and a ssx choke as well, but i shot yesterday and used # 6s and it was great but not as good a pattern as you had, windy here yesterday,but I will try again next week. its the first time out with my new 835 and using LBs,but I was still impressed with my initial testing

[Tbrady835]

The crazy thing is, the reason I got the ssx choke was bc I planned on shooting 3.5/ 2/6, bc there were some guys on here usin 835 ssx and longbeard 3.5" 6 shot and they were getting in the 250's in the ten at forty, but my gun won't pattern the 6 shot like that I didn't have hardly any more 6 shot in the ten at forty than I did with the 5's , that's why I stepped down to five shot was just curiosity to see what the numbers would be and boy I'm glad I did!!! Another thing is a lot of people talk about having a clean barrel and all, I guess some guns like clean barrels but I shot those two patterns yesterday and there was at least a box of longbeard only shells through it without so much as a patch ran through it, the 835 is due up for a good clean and I'm gonna reshoot those 5 and 6's and I will let you know what the results are.
