Win Lb Xr Trky 12ga 3" #6 1-7/8oz 10

Winchester Longbeard XR turkey ammunition in 12 gauge 3-inch magnum delivers extended-range performance through proprietary Shot-Lok technology designed to maintain tight patterns beyond traditional 40-yard limits. This 10-round box of #6 shot loads 1-7/8 ounces per shell, engineered to achieve twice the pellet density in a 10-inch circle at 60 yards compared to conventional turkey loads, providing the knockdown power necessary for effective harvesting at distances previously considered beyond reliable shotgun range.

The 3-inch magnum chamber accommodates the larger payload while shot-hardening technology maintains pellet integrity downrange, translating velocity into consistent energy delivery at extended distances. The 1-7/8 ounce charge weight positions Longbeard XR as a cost-effective alternative to lead-shot turkey loads while delivering comparable or superior terminal ballistics. This ammunition is packaged in a 10-round box (SKU WNSTLB123M6, UPC 20892022911), weighing 1.69 pounds, making it field-practical for extended hunting days where multiple opportunities may arise.

Longbeard XR suits waterfowl and upland hunters who require reliable pattern density beyond typical shotgun effective ranges, particularly in open-field scenarios where longer approach distances are unavoidable. The #6 shot size balances penetration and pattern density for turkey-sized game, making it suitable for both spring and fall seasons where variable weather and cover conditions demand consistent performance.

Winchester ammunition maintains established standards for primer reliability and powder consistency across production runs, making shot-to-shot performance predictable for patterning and field use. The 12 gauge 3-inch specification ensures compatibility with modern shotguns rated for 3-inch magnums, though buyers should verify chamber length before use.
