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 is the long-range turkey load you reach for when birds hang up beyond traditional range, and the Long Beard XR series is engineered to deliver unmatched pattern density and devastating penetration from a 3-inch 12-gauge shell; firing a 1-3/4 oz. payload of #5 lead shot at roughly 1200 fps, this load uses Shot-Lok Technology to reduce pellet deformation and maintain tighter spreads so more pellets stay in a lethal pattern at 50—60 yards and beyond. For hunters who call birds into difficult setups or need to take ethical, extended-range shots, this round offers increased pellet count inside a 10" circle at 60 yards and optimized velocity for energy retention and deep penetration, helping ensure single-shot knockdown on gobblers that otherwise would be marginal. The durable shell construction holds up in wet field conditions, the 3" length and 12-gauge ballistics pair well with full-choke and extended-range choke tubes, and the United States—made load delivers consistent ignition and performance season after season. Ask your range officer or guide about load selection when stretching effective turkey shots, and you'll find Long Beard XR anticipates the challenges of serious spring hunting.
