Winchester Ammo STLB12L6 Long Beard XR Shot-Lok 12 Gauge 3.50" 2 oz 1200 fps 6 Shot 10 Bx/10 Cs

The Winchester Long Beard XR is a 12-gauge 3.50" shotshell designed for turkey hunters who need consistent, tight patterns at extended range. Loaded with 2 ounces of #6 shot traveling at 1200 fps, this ammunition delivers the pellet density and pattern control that separate a clean harvest from a frustrating day in the field. Shot-Lok Technology binds the pellets in a hardened resin matrix, reducing deformation as they travel downrange and keeping your pattern tighter where it counts most—beyond 50 yards, where most turkey opportunities actually happen.

If you've spent time behind a shotgun, you know that pattern matters as much as velocity. This load prioritizes both. The 2 oz. payload maximizes your effective pellet count without sacrificing the tight, uniform spreads that made Long Beard XR a serious contender in turkey season. At 1200 fps, you're getting a velocity that balances energy retention and pattern integrity—not overpowered, but purpose-built for the ranges where turkeys are actually killed ethically.

Winchester offers this ammunition in 10-round boxes, ten boxes per case, which makes sense for dedicated turkey hunters who pattern-test loads and practice extensively before the season opens. This is ammunition built for someone who treats turkey hunting as a discipline, not an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shot size and load is this Winchester Long Beard XR?

This is a #6 shot load with a 2 oz. payload in a 3.50" shell. #6 is the traditional choice for turkey hunting, balancing pellet energy and pattern density at typical turkey ranges.

Is Long Beard XR good for long-range turkey hunting?

Yes. Shot-Lok Technology and the 1200 fps velocity are engineered to maintain pattern integrity beyond 50 yards, where many modern turkey hunters operate. Pattern testing with your specific gun is always recommended before season.

What does Shot-Lok Technology do?

Shot-Lok encases the pellets in a hardened resin that reduces deformation as they travel downrange. This keeps your pattern tighter and denser at extended distances, putting more pellets on target where they matter.

How many rounds do I get per purchase?

Each case contains 10 boxes of 10 rounds each, for 100 total rounds per case. Boxes are also available separately in 10-round quantities.
