  • In this video I compare ALL THREE shot sizes that 3.5” LBXRs come in! #4, #5, and #6 all drop some deadly patterns, but which one is capable of 60 yards!?

    Have several boxes of LBs and had a lot of inconsistencies in my patterns lately. I’m considering shooting just 4s in double x and nitro magnums, my shots are usually 30 and in.
    But I’m having some #3 nickel plated lead 1 7/8oz loaded up. I bought the black mamba just to try for those. My state has no shot size restrictions

    Nice. I just picked up 2 boxes. Of 3.5 " #4's i have not shot them yet but there were$20 a box of 10. I'm about to pattern this weekend. I know then Winchester xx smells don't play. They will rock that shoulder.

    I made a big order a few years ago when I found them on sale. When I first got them they patterned great. We shot some through some guns last year and they did horrible. Thinking that resin doesn’t hold up well over time

      @heathatford… It’s not the resin. It’s a different lot of Longbeard ammo. Some lots have outperformed other lots. I make sure to resight-in my shotgun when changing lots.

      Sometimes the resin becomes loose inside the hull. If it does, the pattern will open up. By shaking them, you will be able to tell if the resin is still in tact or not.

      I haven’t been able to find the 3inch 1 7/8 #6 in over 3yrs now. I contacted Winchester and they said something like “demand is high for all cartridges and they are doing their best”. I call BS. Winchester makes the Browning bxd and tss shells too and I think that is taking away from production of Long Beards. They need to step it up, I used to get them at Walmart for 18 a box

    Don't waste your time with these. Use tss shot shells. You will be able to shoot 30 yards further. Everyone I know that used these shells got rid of them.

    I've been turkey hunting for over 35 years...and have killed the super slam of turkey hunting..ive killed probably..50 turkeys. 10-45 yards....I just don't see the point of trying to shoot a turkey at 60-70 yards..ive hunted with the same 870 the entire time..2 different chokes...when I first started turkey hunting they didn't even have a "turkey " choke...I suggest if you want to shoot turkeys at 60-70 yards...put a modified choke tube in your shotgun and shoot Remington slugger deer slugs...

      Its the instant gratification of modern American culture and not being able to always get what you want. You can thank Steven Rinella, Pinhoti, other social media hunters who ruined it. Might as well use a 17hmr to hunt..sorry shoot... turkeys.

      I used a bow at first in the late 80's, early 90's, and then switched to 870 Wingmaster, with a mod choke barrel. Took one at 53 yards with 1-1/8 oz 1400 fps reloads with it one time. I later switched to a Browning Citori, Imp-Mod barrels. Shot a bunch of them with that for a few years with 1-1/4 oz game loads. Now I pursue the long shots (60+), makes it a lot more fun and opens the door to a lot more possibilities.

    Who in the hell wants to shoot a turkey load that cost more than buying a turkey at a store I've been shooting Winchester shells turkey loads for 20 years and haven't never had a problem and they patterned better than all of them

    • @whiteyfisk9769
      @whiteyfisk9769 Рік тому

      I totally agree. I use Federal Grandslam 3inch number 5s. 25 bucks for a box of 10, and have never let down. After patterning, i only shoot 1 to 3 shells a year. I use the breasts for nuggets, and the wings and drum sticks snd thighs for slow cooked bbq.
      That 25 bucks has paid for many many meals.

      The Long Beard hasn't been out that long. But, up until then, I just used 1-1/4 oz number 4's. Shot a lot of turkeys with them. Now I'm into long distance shooting and love it. Taken 3 over 60 (62, 63 , & 64 yards) with the Long Beards. Using Vortex Reflex sights now. Very good combination.

      I could do like the old days and just shoot them out of the trees like our forefathers did. What would you call that? Cheating, or grabbing dinner for the night?
