HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE PULL THE TRIGGER??? - Virginia Public Land Turkey Hunting ACTION!

[@Scubasteve56444]

Definitely not the shells. I’ve been using long beard xr for a long time and have never had that issue. Congratulations on the bird and sticking with it.

[@tryptaman4315]

I came here to say this lol. My benelli eats them and loves it

[@ronschriner1894]

it was a well known issue with longbeard xr. there was many people that had trouble with those shells not going off. however this was def a gun issue

[@DarrowofRhea]

I was having the same thing happen in my remington 870 with the Winchester super x 2 separate seasons so I traded I'm my 870 for a mossberg 535 and been shooting the xr 3 1/2 inch shells never and issue with them

[@swvafarmer]

Zach calling the longbeard xr's junk crushed so many souls 😂🤣

[@skinl19]

I heard him say the same. Never had a misfire in my Mossberg in eight years of using them, including patterning.

[@swvafarmer]

@@skinl19 I've killed 2 in VA this year with them, but missed one in Ohio this morning unfortunately, just a rushed shot..the pattern in the tree I hit was solid at 35 yards though 😂 hopefully tomorrow l will get him

[@chrisl2872]

😂 ive patterned my XR loads at 50 yds out of my Remington 887 nitro mag....awesome pattern. Ive taken 3 long beards with that load. Last year was 40 yd shot....dropped him. Clean that firing pin!! Lol

I haven't ever had a problem with XRs run them in 5 guns counting my kids. Did have a 20ga 2 3/4" 7 1/2 win cheapo take 3 trys this year. Didn't look at primer 1st time. 2nd time it looked like good hit. 3rd went off. Don't know if it wasn't seated right or hard primer.

[@bryant.6267]

My 9 year old just got his first turkey the other day, he watches all your videos!!! Thanks for the great content.

[@michaelpollack450]

I had the same problem with my mossberg. It was a bunch of build up and corrosion in the bolt lock. When the action is closed that block should be up. If you take it apart. You should be able to push it down into the bolt sub assembly and it should pop right back up. If it does not, it needs to be taken apart and cleaned. Congratulations on an awesome hunt!

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

I would agree that, that is the problem.

[@scottharrington2400]

Congrats, talk about last minute! In over twenty years I have never had a misfire with Winchester XR's and or their predecessor. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

I've had that same thing happen with steel shot duck hunting but that usually happens when when you short stroke your shotgun. Thats if your running a pump action

Mossberg....

[@Ronjankens]

Idk these guys know what there doin

[@georgeripley5280]

I like your videos and enthusiasm. I am an avid turkey hunter, and have been using Winchester Long Beard shot shells for years. Never have I had a misfire, or delayed fire. I use the 3” #5’s, 12 gauge Remington 870, with the Carlson Long Beard choke. Took one bird last year at 57 yards, and he dropped in his tracks; actually rolled over backwards into a ditch. Have taken a bird at 62 yards with the Long Beards…awesome shells. Oh yeah, harvested two other gobblers last year with my Stevens Model 301 in .410, Apex TSS, 39 and 37 yards. Virginia hunter.

[@michaelpeters6350]

it’s the gun guys. one misfire could be a bad shell, multiple misfires and 99.99% confidence it’s the gun. probably gunked up firing pin or lockup lug. also keep in mind that it might have worked with other loads but some loads have harder primers than others. in any case this gun needs to be looked at in detail and thoroughly cleaned.

[@rkayser89]

Ah, the ol' Mossberg 500 strikes again. They are infamous for not wanting to fully seat the chamber, light strikes, etc. It's not the shells. There are several reasons I won't own one, and this is in the top 3.

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

Zachs calling has improved tremendously! Way to hunt em down

[@rodneyswartzentruber5434]

All I have for the last 6 or 7 years is Longbeard XR and never had a miss fire.

[@davidgabbert6582]

[@sethturner4580]

We’ve fired a lot of Longbeard XR’s through our guns and never had a misfire. My 870 loves the 3” with #5 shot.

[@TwoBrothersFishing_va]

I’ve had the same box of long beard XR since 2015, never had the issue you’ve experienced. Seemed like it was the gun not being fully into battery.

[@ajshovel1]

LOL, you guys are killing me with those set-ups. Get out of that darn laurel so you can shoot more than 10 yards. Exciting hunt thought.

It's a Mossberg so....... and I've been shooting Winchester LB XR since they came out with zero misfires. Using Remington 870, 11-87 and 1100. Still an awesome experience. Got me wanting to climb hills again and give these flat land birds a break lol.

[@billweihl2859]

I'm sure you will get all kinds of grief about the long beards but it's not the shells. They may use a harder primer but it may be time for a rebuild on your firing pin. But enough about that, congrats on a very well earned bird, you definitely had to work for that one with the clock ticking. That is some beautiful country right down there. As always be safe and stay healthy my friend.

Had the same thing happen with a mossberg 835. Took to a gunsmith and got a new firing pin. Worked fine for awhile. Finally just ordered a complete new bolt. Ran like a top for years now. A gun is a machine.....eventually you have to do a little maintenance. Especially an old shotgun that does double duty as a duck gun.

That's been my experience with pumps you gotta keep them oiled and rackem in there hard. They like it rough ! Hunting with pumps you tend to rack them softer because they make too much noise when you do so they don't always work when you soft rack them. thus is why I hunt with a semi-auto. I never have that problem.

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Shotgun either needs a proper cleaning or a few parts replaced. Seems that the bolt is not fully locking upon closure thus the need to really slam it in there. Could be as simple as a small spring replacement or just gunk buildup. Remove bolt and fully disassemble, inspect and clean. Congrats on the bird!
