longbeards round 2

[wlf89]

got 268 and 263 today with the longbeards while getting my sights dialed in just hope its not to tight. had a turkey outline from a target on the back of the cardboard and counted about 103 in the head.

 

[Roost 1]

What distance is this?

 

[wlf89]

40yards

 

[Gravey]

That's impressive.

 

[Jcalder]

I shot a long beard 5 shot at 40 yards and had 196 in a ten inch circle. I was highly impressed

 

[SKFOOTER]

wtf89, what gun and barrel length, choke and Long Beard load was that??? And your PM box is full.

 

[FARMTOFIELD]

Not him, but unless something has changed he is shooting a Winchester 1300 nwtf with a 24?" Barrel I dont remember thechoke

 

[wlf89]

yep winchester 1300 nwtf the choke is a primos tightwad .660

 

[SKFOOTER]

There is no way those are 10 inch patterns shot with a 3 inch Long Beard @ 40 yds. Maybe a 3.5" Long Beard.

 

[REN]

where does it even say it was a 3"?? why the need to even point it out...???

 

[SKFOOTER]

Because if he's shooting a Winchester 1300 it only has a 3 inch chamber. And I asked him in my earlier post what Long Beard load that was and he didn't say.

 

[REN]

then maybe his range finder was off, all I'm saying is why does it really matter? I give the man the benefit of the doubt that he was being truthful in his intentions. If thats not the case thats on him.

 

[Roost 1]

The 1300 is a 3" gun..

 

[SKFOOTER]

The 1300 is a 3" gun..

Exactly.

 

[wlf89]

that is a 3 inch shell at a taped 40yrds dont care if you dont belive me. and i used a pie plate which was little shy of 10"

 

[longnosedoe]

looks like a dead turkey to me.

 

[JAY B]

Always that one guy trying to stir drama!!!! Great pattern btw wlf89!

 

[FARMTOFIELD]

I WILL vouch for this guy, he's my neighbor. If he said its at 40 yards, it is.

And in case some of you haven't done a lot of reading, according to Clark bush there are more #7 and #6.5 size pellets in this load than #6.

Hold on guys. I never came out and called him a liar. But the best 40 yard patterns that I've seen posted on the hunting forums with the new Long Beard 3 inch #6's have barely broken 200. If his setup is posting 260+ at that distance he's at the front of the line when it comes to this particular load. I haven't seen a 3.5" Long Beard #6 put up those numbers. My apologies if I ruffled any feathers but it appears he has found the ultimate gun/choke combination for this 3" load.

 

[REN]

I just posted a pattern a few days ago of one going 221!? I'd say that's more then "barley" I also posted a 3.5 that went 260 on a cool day so

And you are the exception, REN. So settle down. And congrats on the patterns.

 

[REN]

Hey don't get upset with me. You basically called the guy a liar then said you had not see anything close to that which I pointed out that I have posted plenty of them on here and OG.

I'm just tied of folks calling others out in silly pattern pics when in reality who cares. It's that guys gun and reputation so if he is lying then that's on him. That may not have been your intention that's just how I read it so if I'm wrong I publicly apologize to you.

 

[Grizzly Johnson]

Is it turkey season...... yet?!?!

You read it wrong, Ren. I even replied that I was not calling him a liar. Grizzly will vouch for me being an ok guy. And once again, my apologies for ruffling any feathers. I'm just really impressed with Winchester's new Long Beard loads.

 

[Grizzly Johnson]

Maybe some things are being read into more than what they were intended.... All is good guys.... let's just keep it all civil. We are all after the same goal this spring.... I'm even impressed with that pattern and would question the details as well, just to be sure.

Moving right along.....

This popcorn is good (chomp chomp)...i will be testing the longbeards here soon just bought some 3" 6 shot at gander mt for $19.99

 

[deerchaser007]

Everybody keep posting up their patterns with this stuff! Man, that is awesome for a 3 inch shell at 40. I have just enough xtended range to get me thru this spring, then I am testing this stuff in my Remington 870 super mag with a 660 jellyhead and would be thrilled at anything over 175 in a pie plate at 40.

 

[REN]

i have some 3" 5 shot i have to pick up from Bogger i will be testing once it warms back up

 

[Lawrence]

[knightrider]
