The Winchester Long Beard XR STLB12L6 delivers exceptional pattern density and extended range for turkey hunting through innovative Shot-Lok technology. This 12-gauge ammunition transforms standard lead shot into a cohesive mass that breaks apart upon impact, maintaining tight patterns at distances where conventional loads fail.

What Makes This Different

Shot-Lok technology bonds lead shot together with a specialized resin, creating a protective barrier that prevents pellet deformation during acceleration. Standard turkey loads lose pattern density beyond 40 yards due to shot deformation and flyer pellets. The Long Beard XR maintains 10% tighter patterns at 60 yards compared to conventional ammunition, extending effective range by 5-10 yards over traditional turkey loads.

Key Features

  • Shot-Lok resin technology bonds pellets to prevent deformation and flyers
  • 3.5-inch magnum shell with 2-ounce payload for maximum downrange energy
  • #6 shot size provides optimal penetration and pattern density for turkey hunting
  • Diamond Cut wad design enhances separation for improved pattern performance
  • Nickel-plated shot resists corrosion and maintains spherical shape
  • High-velocity loading delivers 1,200 fps muzzle velocity
  • Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 3.5-inch shells
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from 0°F to 100°F. The bonded shot technology maintains pattern integrity through modified and full choke tubes, with optimal results achieved using full or extra-full turkey chokes. Hunters report clean kills at extended ranges where standard loads would result in wounded birds. The nickel-plated shot provides consistent penetration through feathers and bone.
