Win Lb Xr Trky 12ga 3" #5 1.75oz 10/

Winchester Longbeard XR Turkey 12 Gauge 3-Inch #5 Shot ammunition delivers extended-range performance built on Winchester's Shot-Lok Technology platform. This 1.75-ounce load achieves pattern density and velocity consistency that extends effective turkey hunting range to 60 yards—a substantial advance over the 40-yard standard that dominated turkey ammunition for decades. The Longbeard XR load places twice the pellet count in a 10-inch circle at extended distances compared to conventional turkey loads, generating knockdown power equivalent to heavier-than-lead alternatives at a fraction of the cost.

The 12 gauge 3-inch case format ensures compatibility with standard turkey shotgun platforms and modern semi-automatic waterfowl and upland guns configured for 3-inch magnum loads. The #5 shot size balances pellet count with individual projectile energy, optimizing the ballistic profile for the velocity envelope of turkey ammunition. At 1.75 ounces, this load remains manageable for sustained shooting during competition scenarios or extended hunting seasons where shooter fatigue and recoil accumulation affect shot placement accuracy over multiple rounds.

Turkey hunters requiring extended effective range without switching to premium non-toxic or specialty loads will find the Longbeard XR platform eliminates the traditional velocity and pattern degradation associated with longer shots. The ammunition suits hunters operating in open terrain where 50-60 yard presentations are realistic, as well as shooters preparing for turkey hunting competitions where consistent pattern performance across distance benchmarks is evaluated. Each box contains 10 rounds, providing sufficient volume for patterning, practice, and field application without excessive bulk.
