Q&A
Giving you the tightest patterns and longest shot capability of any lead turkey load Winchester® has ever offered, Long Beard™ XR™ Turkey Shotshells deliver deadlier performance at longer ranges. Putting twice the pellets in a 10" circle than comparable turkey loads out to 60 yards, Long Beard XR shells feature Shot-Lok® technology to deliver devastating terminal on-target performance shot after shot. Shot-Lok shells encase every pellet in a hardened resin to prevent pellet deformation during acceleration through the barrel. Avoiding any deformation, the pellets remain round to fly straighter and tighter for highly consistent payloads and devastating knockdown at longer ranges. A game changer for hardcore turkey hunters, Long Beard XR shells give you heavier-than-lead load performance at a fraction of the cost.
Winchester's most advanced turkey load - increased lethality at longer ranges
Heavier-than-lead load performance at a fraction of the cost
Shot-Lok Technology - increased shot stability for better downrange performance
Devastating terminal on-target performance
Tighter patterns - 2X the pellents in a 10" circle up to 60 yards
Deeper penetration and devastating knockdown at longer ranges
10 rounds
Shot-Lok Technology Shot-Lok loads feature a hardened resin that completely encapsulates the lead pellets. This resin eliminates air space around the pellets, preventing movement, which ultimately leads to virtually no pellet deformation during in-bore acceleration. As the shot is charged, the resin fractures, forming a micro-buffer as the shot pattern leaves the gun barrel. This buffer helps the pellets stay round to fly straighter and tighter, resulting in highly consistent payloads and devastating knockdown at longer ranges.

Failure to EjectThis may be a good shell for a pump shotgun but my Benelli Super Black Eagle 2 would not eject them properly. other shells such as Remington nitro turkeys or Hevi Shot will cycle with no problem. I was also less than impressed with the pattern i got as much cheaper shells such as the Remington had constantly more pellets in an 8" target at 40 yards out of a benelli full choke.

Not too badI was struggling to find a 3 1/2" shell that would pattern well beyond 40 yards in my Mossberg 835 Tactical. I paired the Winchester Long Beard XR shells with an Indian Creek Choke Tube and the results were pretty good.

Awesome shellsI've shot these shells in 3.5" #6 both 2oz and 2 1/8oz in my Remington 11-87 with Indian creek choke and my versamax with Turlock xr choke, both did flawless and have killed a pile of birds. I'm not the guy that tries to shoot at a Turkey at 60 plus yards like most morons attempt to all mine have been 20yds and closer with one @ 45 yards

Reach out and touch em!These shells are the bomb..no pun intended. Certainly an equalizer sawing heads at 50+ yards with the right choke. You will not be disappointed.

Best patterning turkey load on the marketI included some patterns that I have got with Longbeard xr 4, 5 and 6 shot out of my Mossberg 835 at 50 yards with various chokes. the patterns should speak for themselves.

Long time turkey hunter. Best I’ve ever usedI bought this when I upgraded guns. I was a believer in hevishot until I used these. At 40 yards I put 248 pellets in a 10” circle with nearly 100 in the kill zone. I shoot the 3.5” 2 1/8 oz #5 shot with a hevishot .662 choke and a Remington supermag. With a fixed power truglo rutnstrut scope. Deadly combo killed two birds at 50 plus last spring. The only dislike I have is you feel like you have had a mule kick you when they go off, but most 3.5s are that way. But love love love this round.

Outstanding!I thought I would try the longbeard xr loads this past season and was definitely impressed. Patterns at 40 yards were tight and concentric with very few flyers. The 3 1/2's aren't fun at the range but when it comes time to make that ole longbeard flop you will have a smile on your face for sure. I don't advocate shooting at birds past 40 yards but with these loads I did roll one at 55 yds last spring.
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. We do not have this in 20 gauge at this time.

This will really depend on your gun. What works best for Gun A could be different than what works best for Gun B. The best option is trying different sizes and seeing what works best with your gun.
