Win Lb Xr Trky 12ga 3" #6 1.75oz 10/

Winchester Longbeard XR Turkey 12 Gauge 3" #6 Shot ammunition represents a fundamental shift in turkey hunting load performance. This 1.75 oz per round load extends effective range far beyond the traditional 40-yard standard, delivering tight, predictable patterns to 60 yards through Winchester's proprietary Shot-Lok Technology. Hunters moving to the Winchester Longbeard XR for turkey loads gain the pattern density and knockdown power previously associated only with heavier-than-lead alternatives, at substantially lower cost per round.

The 12 gauge 3" chamber accommodates the full 1.75 oz payload while maintaining standard pressure levels. Shot-Lok Technology concentrates twice the pellets in the critical 10-inch circle at 60 yards compared to conventional turkey loads, translating directly to more lethal hits on running birds and reduced range-finding errors. The #6 shot size provides the balance between pellet count, energy retention, and pattern density that modern turkey hunting demands. The 10-round per box configuration supports both field trials and extended hunting sessions without excess bulk.

This load suits hunters running standard shotgun platforms equipped for 3-inch shells and seeking maximum range capability without switching to specialty tungsten or bismuth loads. Spring and fall hunters working fields, timber, and broken terrain benefit from the extended effective range, which expands shot opportunities where birds would previously escape at 50+ yards. Serious turkey hunters evaluating Winchester Longbeard XR ammunition will find the performance characteristics and cost-per-round economy make it a practical standard-load solution for high-success-rate hunts.
