Win Lb Xr Trky 12ga 3.5" #4 2oz 10/1

Winchester Longbeard XR Turkey 12 Gauge 3.5" #4 shot ammunition represents a significant advancement in extended-range turkey hunting loads. Built on Shot-Lok Technology, this 2-ounce round delivers the tightest pellet patterns and longest effective shot capability of any traditional turkey load available, with twice the pellet density in a 10-inch circle at 60 yards compared to conventional loads. The Longbeard XR achieves knockdown power equivalent to heavier-than-lead ammunition options at substantially lower cost per round.

The 3.5-inch magnum case capacity paired with #4 shot size creates a ballistic profile that maintains velocity and energy retention beyond traditional 40-yard limitations. Shot-Lok technology binds pellets together during acceleration, reducing deformation and air separation in flight—this engineering directly translates to denser downrange patterns and tighter shot grouping at extended distances. The 2-ounce payload in a 12-gauge platform balances recoil management with sufficient mass for consistent penetration on larger birds.

This ammunition is purpose-built for turkey hunters operating from blinds, ground positions, or elevated stands who require reliable pattern performance beyond conventional yardage. The extended-range capability suits hunters working terrain with longer sightlines or those pursuing birds at distances where standard loads lose pattern integrity. Ten rounds per box provide practical quantity for a full hunting season or range testing before field deployment.

Winchester positions Longbeard XR as the ballistic performance alternative to specialty non-lead or exotic payload loads, delivering comparable pattern density at conventional ammunition pricing. The 12-gauge platform ensures compatibility with most hunting-grade shotguns, from autoloaders to pump and break-action designs, without requiring specialized equipment modifications.
