Winchester Long Beard XR Shot Lok Load 12 Gauge Lead Shot 1 3/4 oz 10 Rounds

The Winchester Long Beard XR Shot-Lok Load for 12 gauge hunters brings a conversation-worthy mix of real-world performance and field-proven design, with the Long Beard XR series built to deliver tighter patterns and reliable lethality for turkey hunting; this 3" load sends a 1-3/4 oz payload of #4 copper-plated lead shot at 1200 fps, using Shot-Lok technology to produce near-perfectly round pellets that hold pattern density out past 50 yards and maintain twice the pellet count in a 10-inch circle out to 60 yards versus traditional leads. You'll notice the reduced recoil geometry and consistent muzzle velocity make follow-up shots faster and less fatiguing during long sits, and the moisture-resistant construction means these shells stay dependable in morning dew, wet leaves, or extended field use. For the hunter dialing in choke choice and shot range, the Long Beard XR's performance translates into greater downrange energy and higher hit probability on long-range calls, while the copper plating helps with penetration and corrosion resistance for extended storage. Made in the United States and optimized for turkey hunting, Winchester's Long Beard XR Shot-Lok loads are a practical match for seasoned callers, guided hunts, and accuracy-focused shooters who demand consistent patterns and stopping power from a 12 gauge 3" load with #4 shot.
