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

There is no way those are 10 inch patterns shot with a 3 inch Long Beard @ 40 yds. Maybe a 3.5" Long Beard.
where does it even say it was a 3"?? why the need to even point it out...???

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.
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.
The 1300 is a 3" gun..

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.
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
