The Winchester Long Beard XR shot shell is a 12-gauge turkey load built around Shot-Lok Technology—Winchester's answer to hunters who want tighter patterns and effective range beyond the traditional 40-yard benchmark. Load it with the 3" hull, 1 3/4 oz shot charge, and 6 shot pellets, and you're working with a turkey round engineered to deliver pattern density and penetration where it counts. At 1200 fps, this load trades the weight penalty of some premium turkey ammo for a design that puts more pellets where they land.
What separates Long Beard XR is the Shot-Lok wad and pellet configuration. The idea is simple: launch the shot column from the barrel in a tighter, more stable formation, and you keep more pellets in a 10" circle downrange. Winchester's testing claims twice the pellet count in that vital circle out to 60 yards compared to standard lead turkey loads—a significant edge if you're hunting open country, big properties, or anywhere distance becomes a factor. You'll also get the penetration needed to put a bird down clean, even beyond the 50-yard threshold where conventional turkey ammo starts to fade.
Long Beard XR ships in bulk: 10 boxes of 10 rounds per case. That's 100 rounds ready to pattern, practice, and hunt. If you're a turkey hunter tired of limiting yourself to close encounters or running traditional lead loads that cost more and pattern wider, this is worth testing on your specific shotgun and choke combination before season opens.

Long Beard XR uses Shot-Lok Technology to launch the shot column in a tighter, rounder formation from the barrel. This results in denser patterns—Winchester claims twice the pellet count in a 10" circle out to 60 yards compared to traditional lead turkey ammo. It also delivers greater penetration beyond 50 yards, letting you hunt at ranges where standard loads lose effectiveness.
Yes. Long Beard XR is specifically designed for long-range turkey hunting. It maintains pattern density and penetration out to 60 yards, well beyond the historical 40-yard standard for turkey loads. Always pattern your specific shotgun and choke combination before hunting to confirm performance at your intended distance.
This is a bulk purchase: 10 boxes, each containing 10 rounds, for a total of 100 shells per case.
This specific load is a 3" shell. If your shotgun is rated for 3 1/2" magnums, you can safely fire 3" ammunition; the gun will handle it fine. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before shooting any ammunition.
