I do know of people that have killed them at further than 60 Y with longbeards although I would never take a shot that far. Even with the failure that's still a dead bird.

I had this issue too. Emailed Winchester and mailed back 1 shell which they replaced with a box. I still find that the pattern at 40 was good, much better than that with shells that rattled and a little more forgiving at 20.

Someone in a previous post mentioned loose pellets you can hear if you shake one. I notice this is some of my Longbeards as well. Is this an issue to be concerned about??

I had a box of 3" #5's do this to me and I just thought that it was my gun/choke combo that was the failure. But with a different box, they pattern really really well. Must have been a bad batch or something I'm thinking (btw, the bad batch was from a couple of years ago, and have not had any problems with the LB's since then).

Have shot several boxes of LB with no issues, even if I hear a pellet rattling around pattern has remained stable. Will pattern some more after season to see if any problems.
Everyone wants to be successful - some just need help.
