Long Beard XR, available in 12 and 20 gauge, is the most innovative turkey load ever developed by Winchester and is ideal for close- and long-range gobblers.

Paired with the right shotgun and choke, shotshells like Long Beard XR deliver more than impressive, and consistent patterns at a variety of ranges, which is what every turkey hunter needs.
