So what's the skinny on the 20ga Longbeard XR loads? Is there such a load? Do they have the same title but for 20ga? Or, as I've read on a coupe sites, are they the Rooster loads?
Little help....  :icon_thumright:

When ever the weather allows, I'll go to the range and try the new 20 gauge WLB shells. I have them with #5 and #6 shot.

I should have a release date on those shells soon but I suspect just after SHOT or at the NWTF Convention in February.

When I get a date, I'll post it on OG.

Thanks,
Clark

Good chance they are outta stock yet....................

I've done a LOT of business with Natchez............... but they tick me off.............   Bet the same sale flyer lists Winchester brand .375 Winchester brass on sale.  They haven't had any (nobody has) in stock for YEARS.  But every flyer lists it as being on sale.

I know alot of people are excited about these new longbeards for a 20 gauge,mybe they will be above 100 hits in the 10 at 40yds.

Longbeards or whatever, the 20 ain't a 40 yard gun.  Go ahead, take the shot, but please tell us about the cripples along with the kills.

I would have to adjust that to say that totally depends on what is coming out of the barrel. I agree to a point . I don't want to shoot lead out of a 20 gauge at 40 yards. But I will with tungsten.  And ill do it just as good as with a 10 or a 12.

X2. Would I want to with lead? Depends on pattern density. If you're getting 100-150 in the 10" with lead, doesn't matter if it's a 12 ga or 20 ga. Having said that, 40 yards with my 20 and federal HW 7's isn't an issue. 40 yards with TSS is, well, ummm.....I'm betting the guys that are using it in a 20 ga could chime in here and say a thing or two.

I run across a Video of field and stream shooting some 20 LB at the shot show.
