Winchester, Long Beard Tss Load, 12 gauge, Tungsten Super Shot, 1200 grains, 5 Rounds

The Winchester Long Beard TSS Load 12 ga. is the Long Beard TSS series turkey load hunters reach for when dense patterning and maximum terminal performance matter, offering 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) in a 3.5-inch-length equivalent 2 3/4-ounce payload of #8 shot that pushes at about 1,050 feet per second for deep, consistent penetration and tight patterns out to extended turkey ranges. If you hunt heavy timber, river bottoms, or transition zones where small, precise patterns win the day, this load delivers the hard-hitting density and downrange energy to increase ethical turkey takes while reducing follow-up shots; its tungsten shot provides far higher pellet count and retained energy compared with lead or steel at comparable voltages, making it a go-to for long-beard hunters chasing toms at 30—60 yards. As a Winchester-branded offering in the Long Beard family, it pairs well with modern turkey chokes and choke upgrades, and it's suitable for hunters who want predictable shot string and reliable patterning from a 12-gauge platform. If you're dialing in loads for calling setups or pressured birds, this round gives the terminal performance and pattern density you need.
