The Winchester Long Beard XR STLB1236 delivers extended range turkey hunting performance through Shot-Lok technology that protects pellets during acceleration and barrel travel. This 12-gauge load combines a 3-inch hull with 1-3/4 ounces of #6 shot for devastating knockdown power at distances that challenge conventional turkey loads.
What Makes This Different
Shot-Lok technology sets this ammunition apart from standard turkey loads by encasing each pellet in a protective resin that prevents deformation during firing. The resin breaks away after leaving the barrel, allowing pellets to maintain their spherical shape for improved ballistics. Independent testing shows 10% tighter patterns and 5% more knockdown energy compared to conventional lead turkey loads at 40 yards.Key Features
