Winchester Long Beard Tungsten Features The 17 g/cc tungsten alloy shot loaded in Winchester Long Beard Tungsten is significantly denser than traditional lead shot and the larger #8 pellet size used here trades a small amount of pellet count for deeper penetration on a tom s vitals at extended range. A buffered payload keeps individual pellets from deforming during firing so shot stays round and flies true through any choke tube without producing stray flyers that open up a pattern. That combination of density and buffering still delivers a dramatically denser pattern than a comparable lead load giving hunters confidence on longer shots. Hard-hitting tungsten shot means more consistent humane kills on a bird known for absorbing hits from lighter payloads. Loaded on a high brass hull rated to 1100 fps this load concentrates maximum energy transfer into a tightly patterned payload built specifically for turkey hunting. Packaged five rounds to the box and ten boxes to the case Long Beard Tungsten #8 lets hunters stock up before the season without breaking their ammunition budget on premium tungsten loads. Winchester s turkey-specific engineering shows in every component from the buffered shot cup to the hull s boxer primer and reloadable brass base. For hunters who prefer a heavier pellet for deep penetration this load closes the gap that standard lead turkey loads leave open.
