The Winchester Long Beard XR Shot-Lok technology delivers the tightest patterns and longest lethal range of any traditional turkey load on the market. This 12-gauge 3.5-inch magnum shell combines 2 ounces of copper-plated #5 shot with revolutionary Shot-Lok technology to create devastating downrange performance that extends effective range by up to 20 yards over standard turkey loads.
What Makes This Different
Shot-Lok technology protects individual pellets during in-bore acceleration, preventing deformation that causes fliers and opens patterns. The proprietary hardened buffer material releases pellets upon target impact while maintaining tight flight patterns throughout the shell's trajectory. Standard turkey loads lose approximately 40% of their pellets to deformation, while Long Beard XR maintains pellet integrity for maximum pattern density at extended ranges.Key Features
