Winchester Long Beard XR 12GA 3" 1-3/4oz #5 Shot Turkey Ammo 10rd

Winchester Long Beard XR Shot-Lok technology delivers the tightest patterns and longest lethal range of any traditional turkey load. This 12-gauge ammunition combines advanced Shot-Lok resin with copper-plated lead shot to maintain pellet roundness and energy downrange.

What Makes This Different

Shot-Lok Technology uses a specialized resin that fractures upon firing, releasing perfectly round pellets that maintain their shape through the barrel and choke. Standard turkey loads suffer from pellet deformation that reduces pattern density and effective range. Long Beard XR maintains 10% tighter patterns at 40 yards compared to conventional loads, extending lethal range by up to 5 additional yards.

Key Features

• Shot-Lok resin technology prevents pellet deformation for consistent patterns
• Copper-plated #5 lead shot delivers maximum energy transfer
• 1-3/4 ounce payload provides dense pattern coverage
• 3-inch magnum shell generates 1200 fps muzzle velocity
• Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells
• Works with standard and specialty turkey chokes
• 10 rounds per box for extended hunting sessions

Field testing demonstrates consistent 40+ yard performance on wild turkeys. The copper plating reduces barrel leading while maintaining pellet integrity through tight chokes. Pattern density remains lethal at extended ranges where standard loads fail to deliver sufficient energy. This ammunition performs reliably in temperature extremes and humid conditions without degradation.
