.655 to tight for longbeards?

[outdoorsmen]

For the heck of it i just bought a box of the xr's 3.5" #4 2oz loads. You think my IC .655 could handle them good from my sx2 gun?

Give it a shot and let us know.

.655 works great in the guns I've set up.

I'd stick to #5 shot,but wouldn't be afraid to try #4S...let us know!!!!

With the 4's its going to be a bit of a squeeze but it shouldn't hurt anything, it might blow the pattern though. I helped a local guy with his SX2 and ended up having him stick a Kicks .670 in it using the Longbeard 5's and he ordered a Sumtoy as well but I do not know what constriction he went with. It patterned awesome with that Kicks.

I would sure think that would be too tight based on my SX2 and longbeards but your results may be better.

I have a 655 in my gun but shoot #6's my 20yard shot is about the size of your fist. I was thinking of trying 4's. Lets see some pattern pictures when you try them.

#4 was my only choice cause GANDER MOUNTAIN SUCKS! Thr whole turkey ammo section wqs horrible. The only hevi 13 they had was 3" 2oz #5 . Alot of remington nitros......

I agree!  Gander Mountain is the worst outdoor store in history!  I'll pass one 20 mins from my house and drive the 1.5 hours to bass pro every time!

Anyway, rant over.  I think the .655 will be a little too tight...  But, try them and let us know!

I shot my Benelli with a 655 in it and have extended range 4,s and it rolled a turkey last year and on paper it was even it wasn't real dense but it spread even .. Satisfied me

I shoot the kicks gt .655 in my 535 with the LB 3" 1.75 #6's with excellent results...200-215 with a semi clean barrel. I've found that the holes in the pattern will fill in shooting the LB's with a slightly fouled barrel. Also had great results with the 3" 5's with the same tube...170-180's. Now my 3" hevi 7's want a super clean barrel, patterns those consistently in the 220's with no gaps but numbers drop into the 190's with a fouled barrel. I shoot those through an ssx, believe that tube would be to tight for the LB 6's...I think the pattern would be blown out. Never tried it and won't, don't want to damage that tube.

I have a .655 Kick's for one of my 870s and get nearly identical results with both the 3 inch 5's and 6's.
