WOW, was that outside??? as cold as it was today those numbers may jump up quite a bit in warmer temps. Thats pretty tight for sure! in 70 or 80 degrees that may be too tight really.
Although i don't know what your goal is so it may be exactly what you want, either way thats a heck of a lead pattern especially for 3"

We shot one out of my SBE2 with a .660 jellyhead and one out of buddy's 870 with a .665 jellyhead yesterday. Both had good even patterns. I will say one thing though they are the hardest kicking shell I've ever shot. Buddy said they was the only one he had ever shot that completely pumped itself out of his 870
Nothing can kick harder then a magblends lol
I'd rather get kicked in the nuts then shoot a mossberg with a 3.5 magblends hahaha

I shoot mag blends and them longbeards kick harder for sure but they do pattern good. Would not want to shoot one through one of them lil stubby barreled 835's.
Yeah forgot about the nitros. I have some long beards to try so I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I tried picking some up at BPS today and all they had in 3" was # 4's.
I want either 5's or 6's.

The Nitro 2 7/16 oz out of a Remington 870 definitely kill at both ends, but I really think going to a thumbhole stock really helped with the recoil at least to me. As for the shells and performance the results don't lie... Worth every bruise and sore cheek (and also every $7.49!) !!
Try the Nitro 3oz 10ga loads....Only made that mistake once.
