i bought a box of winchester long beard 3.5 "mag #4 shot and shot them out of my rem 870SM with 1x4 leupold scope and at 42 yds off a lead sled it put 133 #4,s in a 12" circle, i was hunting a good solid 40 yd(i like to shot at 40yds or less) turkey killing pattern and i found it. i am going to try #5 and #6,s within the week. a friend said his shotgun does better(more pellets in 12" circle at 40yds) with #5,s. the nice thing about these new win. LB shells is they are about 2.00 a piece. eastbank.
