I shoot 3.5" Longbeard XR's #5 out of my Rem 870 24" turkey gun with a Kicks choke and have groups at 40yds that have too many holes for me to count.  Love em.

Took the shotguns back out again today. I tried my other turkey choke, I got just over 100 hits into a 8.5 inch by 11 inch piece of paper 32 hits into the turkey head and and neck, and 12 hits into the brain and spine. The target was one I printed at home that derby city calls lets you save then printout. I also shot my wife's gun once again she got 175 hits to the paper, with over 60 to the turkey head and neck, with 25 hits into the brain and spine. I was once again shooting at 40 yards. So my wife's gun is still shooting these shells a lot better then mine, but I think we are both good to go. I also bought some Federal Premium Mag-Shok heavyweight 20 guage 6 shot. Ill give those a try once they show up for my new gun.
