Winchester Long Beard XR 20 Gauge 3" - Revolutionary Turkey Hunting Ammunition

Experience the future of turkey hunting with Winchester Long Beard XR, the first shotshell to deliver the knockdown power of heavier-than-lead loads using copper-plated lead shot. This 20 gauge 3" shell features groundbreaking Shot-Lok Technology that redefines what's possible with traditional lead ammunition.

Shot-Lok Technology Innovation

Winchester's exclusive Shot-Lok Technology uses a hardened resin matrix that encapsulates each pellet, protecting it from deformation during firing. This revolutionary approach maintains pellet roundness through the barrel and choke, resulting in tighter patterns, deeper penetration, and dramatically extended effective range compared to conventional lead loads.

Performance That Exceeds Expectations

Long Beard XR delivers 10% greater penetration at 50 yards than standard lead turkey loads, with pattern densities that rival premium tungsten ammunition at a fraction of the cost. The 1 1/4 oz payload of #5 shot provides optimal pellet count and energy for clean, ethical harvests on even the wariest gobblers.
