Winchester Ammo STLB12L5 Long Beard XR Shot-Lok 12 Gauge 3.50" 2 oz 1200 fps 5 Shot 10 Bx/10 Cs

Winchester Long Beard XR 12-gauge turkey ammunition delivers the extended-range performance serious turkey hunters demand. Loaded in 3.50" shells with a 2 oz. payload of #5 shot traveling at 1200 fps, this load is built to keep pellets tight downrange where it counts most. The Shot-Lok technology encases each pellet in a hardened resin coating that resists deformation, maintaining denser patterns beyond typical turkey hunting distances—especially useful if you're taking longer shots in open terrain or across fields where standard loads lose pattern integrity.

If you've ever watched a pattern open up beyond 50 yards and felt that sinking feeling, Long Beard XR addresses exactly that problem. The combination of shot hardening and velocity keeps more pellets on target at extended range, giving you the confidence to commit to a shot you might otherwise pass on. The heavier payload also means more total pellets in the pattern, which translates to more margin for error on birds that shift or turn at the last moment.

Winchester built these shells with a durable construction designed to handle moisture and rough conditions—reliability matters when you're sitting in a wet blind at first light. Each box contains 10 rounds; cases ship 10 boxes per case for hunters who stock up for a full season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distance is Winchester Long Beard XR designed for?

Long Beard XR is engineered to maintain exceptional pattern density beyond 50 yards, making it suitable for extended-range turkey hunting where standard loads begin to open up significantly.

What makes Shot-Lok Technology different from standard turkey shot?

Shot-Lok encases each pellet in a hardened resin coating that reduces deformation as pellets travel downrange. This keeps the pattern tighter and denser at distance compared to uncoated shot, which deforms more readily and spreads the pattern.

Is this ammunition suitable for all 12-gauge shotguns?

These are 3.50" magnum shells. They will fire in any 12-gauge shotgun rated for 3.50" ammunition; they will not fit in 2.75" or 3" chambers. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before loading.

How many shells are in a case?

Each case contains 10 boxes of 10 rounds, for a total of 100 shells per case.
