    Default Winchester Xtended Range Loads

    Has anybody had any luck with these loads? I have a Mossberg 835 and was thinking about giving these a try.

    They shot very well for my buddy last year out of his 835. You have to just shoot them and shoot some others to see what shell patterns the best for you. But I think you will like them.

    I bought a box for my 870...shooting #6's 3 1/2" 12ga.....they didn't even come close to performing as well as the Rem. hevi-shots #6's.

    Tried 4 different chokes and the x-tended ranges performed the best outta one choke...but it wasn't even close to my best pattern.
    Guns are different...gotta bite the "bullet" so to speak and buy a box to try out of your gun!

    3 inch #5s worked great in my Rem 11-87 with HS Undertaker HS choke. I'm going to try some Rem Hevi-Shot #5s, too, but they'll be hard pressed to beat the Win Xt performance.
