Winchester Long Beard TSS 20GA 3" 1-5/8oz Tungsten #8 Shot Ammo

The Winchester Long Beard TSS delivers maximum knockdown power for turkey hunting through advanced tungsten super shot technology. This 20-gauge ammunition extends effective range beyond traditional lead loads while maintaining dense, consistent patterns that ensure clean harvests at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

Tungsten Super Shot pellets are 18% denser than lead, creating 22% more knockdown energy per pellet. The Shot-Lok technology prevents pellet deformation during firing, maintaining spherical shape for superior ballistic performance. Standard lead turkey loads begin losing effectiveness beyond 40 yards, while this TSS load maintains lethal energy at 60+ yards with proper choke selection.

Key Features

• Tungsten Super Shot pellets deliver 22% more energy than lead equivalents
• Shot-Lok technology prevents pellet deformation for consistent patterns
• 1-5/8 ounce payload provides dense pattern coverage at extended range
• 3-inch magnum shell optimized for 20-gauge turkey hunting
• Size #8 shot balances pellet count with individual pellet energy
• Buffered shot column reduces pellet damage during acceleration
• Premium wad design protects barrel and maintains shot integrity

Field testing demonstrates consistent 90% pattern density at 40 yards through modified chokes, with effective lethal patterns extending to 60+ yards through extra-full turkey chokes. The tungsten composition maintains velocity better than lead, reducing drop and wind drift for precise shot placement on moving targets. This load performs reliably in temperatures from -20°F to 120°F without velocity variation.
