I used the 3.5" Xtended Range loads and took three birds this season. The first was with XR #5. I shot him at 47 yards. He kicked a little, but that was it. The second bird was also shot with XR #5. He was shot at 18 yards. He went down like a ton of bricks had hit him. The third was taken with 3.5" #6 Xtended Range in another gun. He is my largest bird to date. 23 lbs, 1 3/8" spurs, 10 1/2" beard. I took him at 20 yards, and there was not much left of his head and neck.

I think that Winchester has really produced a fine load with the Xtended Range shells and don't plan on changing for awhile.
