The 2 major differences I see with the HTL pellets is increased pattern density on target and increased penetration. Both make HTL loads "more lethal" on paper. The rub is.......if you limit your shots to 35-40 yards and never mis-judge a yardage......makes no difference. The Winchester Longbeard XR shotshell is mind boggling if you're old like me and had been used to conventional buffered lead technology.
