Winchester STLB1235 Long Beard XR Shot-Lok 12 Gauge 3" 1-3/4oz #5 1200 fps

A: Winchester Long Beard XR Shot-Lok ammunition is unique for turkey hunting due to its Shot-Lok Technology. This technology protects the shot during in-bore acceleration, allowing it to launch from the barrel in a near-perfect round shape. This results in extremely tight long-range patterns, with twice the number of pellets in a 10" circle out to 60 yards compared to standard loads.

A: The Winchester Long Beard XR Shot-Lok ammunition is designed for extended range turkey hunting. It maintains tight patterns and effective lethality out to 60 yards, which is significantly farther than traditional turkey loads. This extended range gives hunters more flexibility in shot placement and increases their effective hunting area.

A: The Shot-Lok technology in this ammunition improves penetration by maintaining the roundness of the shot pellets. This results in 10% greater penetration over standard lead loads beyond 50 yards. The increased penetration ensures more consistent and ethical harvests at longer distances.

A: This Winchester Long Beard XR Shot-Lok load is a 12 gauge, 3-inch shell containing 1 3/4 ounces of #5 shot. It has a muzzle velocity of 1200 fps. Each box contains 10 rounds, and there are 10 boxes per case.

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns, it's important to note that it's a 3-inch magnum load. It should only be used in shotguns specifically chambered for 3-inch or 3.5-inch shells. Always check your shotgun's specifications before using this ammunition to ensure compatibility and safe operation.
