Winchester Long Beard TSS 28 Gauge 3" 1 5/8oz #9 Tungsten Shot Ammo

The Winchester Long Beard TSS 28 Gauge delivers devastating turkey hunting performance through advanced tungsten super shot technology. This premium ammunition extends effective range while maintaining dense, consistent patterns that maximize knockdown power on gobblers at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) provides 56% greater density than traditional lead shot, creating deeper penetration and increased lethality. The Shot-Lok Technology bonds the shot column together during acceleration, then releases individual pellets for optimal pattern distribution. Standard lead loads lose effectiveness beyond 40 yards, while this TSS load maintains lethal energy out to 60+ yards with proper choke selection.

Key Features

• Tungsten Super Shot pellets deliver maximum penetration and stopping power
• Shot-Lok Technology prevents pellet deformation during firing acceleration
• 1 5/8 ounce payload provides dense pattern density with #9 shot size
• 3-inch magnum shell generates 1,200 fps muzzle velocity
• Diamond Cut wad design reduces flyers and tightens patterns
• Premium brass-plated hull ensures reliable extraction
• Compatible with all 28 gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells

Field performance demonstrates consistent 90%+ pattern density in 10-inch circles at 40 yards when paired with turkey chokes. The smaller #9 shot size increases pellet count per ounce while tungsten composition maintains adequate penetration through feathers and bone. Hunters report clean kills on mature gobblers at ranges previously considered marginal with lead ammunition. The 28 gauge platform reduces felt recoil compared to 12 gauge magnums while TSS technology compensates for the smaller bore diameter.
