Winchester Long Beard XR 20 Gauge 3" - Maximum Density with #6 Shot
Experience exceptional pattern density with Winchester Long Beard XR featuring #6 shot in a manageable 20 gauge platform. This 3" shell delivers a powerful 1 1/4 oz payload of copper-plated lead shot protected by revolutionary Shot-Lok Technology, providing the knockdown power of heavier-than-lead loads with maximum pellet count and significantly reduced recoil compared to 12 gauge alternatives.
Shot-Lok Technology Revolution
Winchester's exclusive Shot-Lok Technology uses a hardened resin matrix that encapsulates each pellet, protecting it from deformation during firing. This groundbreaking innovation maintains pellet roundness through the barrel and choke, resulting in tighter patterns, 10% greater penetration at 50 yards compared to standard lead loads, and dramatically extended effective range—all in a comfortable 20 gauge platform.
#6 Shot Maximum Pattern Density
The #6 shot size delivers the highest pellet count in the Long Beard XR 20 gauge lineup, making it ideal for hunters seeking maximum pattern density and comprehensive coverage. These smaller pellets create incredibly dense patterns that ensure complete coverage of the vital head and neck area, particularly effective for close to medium-range hunting scenarios where pattern density is paramount.
20 Gauge Advantage
The 20 gauge platform offers significantly less recoil than 12 gauge alternatives while still delivering lethal performance on turkeys. This makes it perfect for youth hunters, smaller-framed shooters, or experienced hunters who appreciate reduced fatigue during long days in the field. The lighter weight also makes it ideal for mobile hunting and long treks into remote areas.
