Went out to pattern a few new shells today. Shot some Nitro 4x5x6 which put up 180-190, mag blends which put up 160-170 and then my friend gave me a 3.5 #6 longbeard to try out. I was not expecting what I got. 269 in a 10 inch circle at 40yds with the long beards. I'm gonna shoot the nitros this year just because I've already ordered some more but wow these long beards shot well out of my gun. I re-connect 3 times just because I couldn't believe the numbers
