Winchester Ammo Lbtss2839 Long Beard Tss 28Gauge 3" 1 5/8Oz Tungsten 9Shot 5 Per Box/10 Case

Winchester Long Beard TSS 28-gauge shotshells bring tungsten-based turkey loads to hunters who want pattern density and lethality without stepping up to heavier gauges. Built around 18g/cc Tungsten Super Shot, these 3-inch shells carry 1 5/8 oz of 9-shot pellets in each round—engineered for the kind of tight, consistent patterns that matter when a gobbler's head is the only ethical target. If you're running a 28-gauge for turkey hunting, you're choosing economy and recoil management; Winchester's Long Beard TSS ammunition makes that choice genuinely competitive with the magnum crowd.

TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) pellets hit harder and pattern denser than traditional lead at the distances where turkey guns are effective. The buffered payload design keeps pellets moving straight through your choke without the flyers that waste energy and leave gaps in your pattern. Whether you're hunting with a dedicated turkey gun or a versatile upland-capable 28, these shells are loaded to deliver the consistency that separates clean kills from misses.

Each box contains 5 rounds; a 10-box case gives you 50 shells. It's the right ammunition choice for anyone who has committed to 28-gauge turkey hunting and demands the pattern performance that modern tungsten technology delivers.
