The Winchester Long Beard XR STLB12L4 delivers devastating turkey performance through revolutionary Shot-Lok technology that maintains pellet integrity until impact. This 12-gauge magnum load combines 2 ounces of copper-plated #4 shot with specialized resin to create the tightest, most consistent patterns available for extended-range turkey hunting.
What Makes This Different
Shot-Lok technology separates Long Beard XR from conventional turkey loads by protecting individual pellets during barrel travel and choke constriction. Standard loads suffer pellet deformation that creates flyers and reduces pattern density. Winchester's resin formula dissolves upon firing, releasing perfectly round pellets that maintain velocity and create patterns up to twice as tight as standard loads at 40 yards.Key Features
