Longbeard pattern.

[spurman]

Very nice pattern in my opinion I know we all strive for good pattern at 40 but I never shoot one past 35 yds usually .

Me to 30-35 yds.

Tried to put both pics in one post from phone... sorry

[Buford]

Jkbow,    Please give us more information. How far, what gun and choke, barrel length. It looks like a very good pattern and many thanks for sharing. Hey which size shot also.   Thanks, buford

I tried the Winchester LB #6s out of my 1187 26" barrel w the truglo SSX and tightwad at 40yds and both left much to be desired, I'll stick to hevi 13 7s from that gun. I then tried them in my Mossberg 500 22" barrel, and was surprised at the difference. Using an Indian Creek I got 182 pellets in a 10" circle and 137 w a tightwad.

40 yds mossberg 500,22" barrel, Indian creek

[Buford]

Kyturkeyhunter, would you please tell us indian creek choke you have in your 500 mossberg?    Many thanks, Buford. That is a super pattern.

I'd like to know as well what constriction that tube was.

[KyTurkeyHunter473]

 It was the .555 black diamond strike.

Winchester Longbeard XR #6 at 30 yards
remington 870 w 26"b arrel and Sumtoy 562
This was done at 30 due to windy conditions. I will post a pic
w same setup and a Federal HW #7
thats a 7" circle BTW.

Hope this helps...I know there hard to come by.  I was lucky and a buddy got me a few boxes at NWTF nashville.
My 2 cents after shooting them in 2 diff guns is that there prob the best Lead loads i have used.  But wont make me
switch from Heavyweights.  Hunt SAfe and good luck

Stoeger m3020 with factory turkey choke and longbeard 5s at 40 yards. 129-10 note that I could have adjusted the circle a little and got 135ish in the 10. I would have never imagined it in a 20 with lead!
