Winchester Long Beard 12ga 3in 5 Shot ammunition from Winchester (Long Beard XR Shot-Lok) puts 1-3/4 oz of #5 lead shot in a 3 inch 12 Gauge shell. Each box holds 10 shells.
Built for Turkey Hunting
This load puts 1-3/4 oz of #5 lead shot in a 3 inch 12 Gauge shell, a heavy combination built for spring and fall turkey hunting.
Turkey loads are designed for dense patterns at the head and neck. The right choke matters as much as the shell, so pair Winchester Long Beard 12ga 3in 5 Shot with a turkey choke and pattern it before the season.
Heavy turkey loads recoil hard. Shoot only enough at the patterning board to confirm your point of impact and pattern.

Turkey Hunting Tips
Use Winchester Long Beard 12ga 3in 5 Shot only in shotguns chambered for 3 inch or longer 12 Gauge shells.
Pattern this load at 20, 30 and 40 yards with your turkey choke.
Never wear red, white or blue in the turkey woods, and never stalk a gobbling bird.
Check state regulations for shot size and legal hours.
Winchester Long Beard 12ga 3in 5 Shot is a rugged choice for shooters who want a ready-made turkey load from a known maker.
Choke choice
Use a choke tube recommended for this shot type; some tight turkey chokes are not designed for steel or tungsten shot.
Shot distance
Know your effective range from patterning and wait for the bird to come within it.
Safety
Sit against a tree wider than your shoulders and announce yourself clearly if another hunter approaches.
Reading the box
The box lists the gauge, shell length, shot charge and shot size. Always match the shell to the gauge and chamber length stamped on your firearm, and never fire ammunition that is not specified for your firearm.
About Winchester
Winchester Long Beard 12ga 3in 5 Shot comes from Winchester, and the specifications listed here follow the maker’s and our distributor’s published data for this item. Compare loads by shot size, shot charge and velocity to find the best fit for your firearm.
Buying the right amount
When you find a load that performs well, buy enough for practice and the full season at once. Ammunition from the same lot tends to perform the same, which keeps your results consistent.
Safety first
Always treat every firearm as loaded, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Wear eye and ear protection every time you shoot.
Understanding shot size
Smaller shot numbers mean larger pellets. Larger pellets carry more energy at distance but give fewer pellets in the pattern, while smaller pellets fill the pattern but lose energy sooner. Match the shot size to the game and the distance.
Choosing the right load
Start with the job you need the ammunition to do, whether that is hunting, target shooting or practice. Then match the load to that job, and finally test a few boxes in your own firearm, because every barrel has its preferences.
