Winchester Long Beard TS17 20ga 3in #9 Tungsten

Winchester Long Beard TS17 Tungsten Turkey Load

Winchester has engineered the Long Beard TS17 as a purpose-built turkey hunting round that combines modern materials with proven ballistics principles.

Key Features

• Tungsten Shot: 17g/cc tungsten construction delivers superior density and energy retention compared to traditional lead shot
• Buffered Load Design: Shot buffering technology allows pellets to flow smoothly through any choke tube, eliminating flyers and producing tighter, more consistent patterns
• Superior Pattern Density: Generates five times more pellets in a 10-inch circle at 60 yards compared to #4 lead ammunition
• #9 Shot Size: Optimized for turkey hunting with increased pellet count for reliable knockdown
• 20 Gauge, 3-inch Magnum: Delivers full power in a lighter-recoiling platform
• 1 9/16 oz. Load: Balanced payload for pattern consistency and manageable recoil

Performance

The tungsten construction provides the density needed for deep penetration and energy transfer at extended ranges. The buffered load design is the key to consistent patterns—by protecting pellets during the firing process, Winchester ensures that shot reaches the target without deformation that causes erratic flight paths.

Practical Application

Whether you're hunting from a blind, calling birds across open country, or working thick timber, the Long Beard TS17 delivers the pattern density and reliability serious turkey hunters demand. The 20-gauge platform makes this an excellent choice for hunters who prefer reduced recoil without sacrificing effectiveness.
