What shells ?

These are the ones I've tried this year (well, still have 2 to try today or tomorrow). I'd be comfortable hunting with any of them, but I'll choose the ones that give me the best pattern. As REN can attest, my gun has been pretty picky.

Winchester long beard xr 3 1/2" 5 shot.
What be said.
Top barrel for the longer shots...almost the same as these guys but my gun likes 6s. Bottom barrel for close quarters...whatever old 3" 4s, 5s, or 6s I might have laying around.
 
12 gauge - 3" Winchester Supreme 5's with a Mad Max choke (not sure of restriction)

20 gauge - 3" Federal FCW 5's with an improved modified choke in the top barrel
2.75" Winchester Super Dove 7.5's with modified choke in the bottom barrel
 
Just patterned Winchester Longbeards XR 3 inch #5 on Saturday. That is what I will be using. Slightly better than the Winchester xtended range I used for 10 years, I was surprised.

If curious about patterns with Winchester Longbeards XR, go to Winchester pattern board and check it out. Pretty neat! And it was dang close to my results even without sand bags
 
12g - 3" magblends

20g - 3" federal heavyweight

Moving to TSS 9 shot in the 20 though as soon as TNreb builds the trap :)
