Pattern my gun today. These long beard shells and choke are absolutely devastating. Attachment 29422
55 yards 6 shot.
Before anybody says anything about my spelling I meant long beard choke lol
I would be concerned about the pellet energy from a #6 lead shot at 55 yards - but yes, great pattern.
I was thinking that to but it Went through the plywood. 6's pattern way better for me. I usually use 5 try something new this year. I don't think I would take a shot till he got closer but have that confidence if I have to.Quote:

All guns are different I had my undertaker choke and it sucked with the long beard loads but I went and bought the long beard choke and the difference was unbelievableQuote:

Hey ghost great post, just one question are you referring to the Winchester long beard tube made by Carlsons? It's a ported model...I also have an undertaker and want to upgrade.
also one other question what is your pattern at 15-20 yards? I've heard of it flying so tight it's easy to miss, can you comment?
Yes that is the tube I am using now. 15-20 yards it punches a golf ball size hole in the paper so it would be easy to miss.Quote:
