If I was still going to shoot lead and could not find LBXR’s, I would seek these out. I actually have some in 3.5 inch #5’s. They pattern well out of my gun, but they kick hard.
Unfortunately I don't have any more of those left. Even if I did though, .665 is just too tight for a large tss pellet like that. Salt Creek recommends a full choke, other similar shells with tss 4s say that .680 is the max constriction, plus we definitely hit the constriction limit of what they are willing to take without ruining the pattern when we recently ran them through the Kicks .680 choke. Long story short, I just wouldn't want to be the guy that pushes my equipment into the risky zone on a shell like that and wind up hurting myself or my equipment
Oh WOW 🤩 That was absolutely a great PATTERN.
Yep, it was definitely pretty good looking!
I have used the XX Winchesters since the late 1970’s !!!
They definitely seem to be a pretty solid lead shell
Thank you for running my suggestions
It was definitely a pretty good suggestion!
Good pattern for lead #4's.
Yep, it definitely is
wow I would not expect that performance out of a double x 4
Yeah, it was definitely pretty surprising

The LB shells are hard to argue with, but these are definitely a solid option as well
Next test suggestions:
Same choke
Triple threat ammo if you have some left. i think that combo might just be gnarly 👊😎

It would be nice to see that same setup with longbeard xr,that was a great pattern for lead,especially #4
We have run the LB 5s and 6s through it, but not the 4s. We might just have to try that sometime soon
Can you do the 20ga LBXR#5 through the LBXR .568?
That combo is definitely on the way soon
Try tht shell in the 500 Mossberg with full choke
We can probably try that out soon
