Winchester Long Beard XR 20 Gauge 3-Inch #5 Shot

Winchester Long Beard XR Turkey Loads

Winchester's Long Beard XR ammunition represents a significant advancement in turkey hunting technology. These 20-gauge, 3-inch shells deliver the performance serious turkey hunters demand.

Key Features

• Shot Charge: 1-1/4 oz of #5 shot
• Gauge & Length: 20 gauge, 3-inch magnum
• Pattern Performance: Long Beard XR technology produces denser, more consistent patterns at extended ranges
• Shot Type: Hardened pellets designed to resist deformation

What Makes Long Beard XR Different

The Long Beard XR line employs Winchester's proprietary shot hardening and buffering system. This combination reduces pellet deformation during acceleration down the barrel, resulting in tighter, more uniform patterns downrange. For turkey hunting, this means more pellets in the vital zone at distances where other loads begin to fail.

Practical Advantages

The 20-gauge platform offers genuine advantages for hunters who value reduced recoil without sacrificing effectiveness. These loads maintain sufficient energy and pattern density to ethically harvest turkeys at ranges that would challenge standard ammunition. The #5 shot size provides the optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for turkey-sized game.

Ideal For

Turkey hunters seeking reliable, hard-hitting ammunition that patterns consistently. Whether you're hunting in open country or tighter terrain, Long Beard XR ammunition delivers the performance needed for clean, ethical harvests.
