Winchester Long Beard Tungsten Features The 17 g/cc tungsten alloy shot loaded in Winchester Long Beard Tungsten 28 gauge ammunition is considerably denser than lead letting the #9 pellets retain lethal energy at ranges that would leave standard lead loads underpowered in this smaller bore. A buffered payload prevents pellet deformation during firing keeping the shot column tight and round as it exits the barrel which is especially important in a sub-gauge where every pellet counts toward pattern density. That combination lets 28 gauge hunters take on turkey hunting with genuine confidence rather than treating the gauge as a novelty platform. The reduced recoil of the 28 gauge also makes it an excellent choice for younger or recoil-sensitive hunters chasing their first longbeard. Rated to 1150 fps this load is engineered specifically for turkey hunting concentrating the tungsten payload for maximum pattern density within the 28 gauge s smaller shell capacity. Packaged five rounds to the box and ten boxes to the case hunters can stock up on a dedicated tungsten turkey load without needing to step up to a larger heavier-recoiling gauge. Winchester s Long Beard Tungsten engineering applies the same buffered shot technology across the entire gauge lineup so 28 gauge shooters benefit from the same pattern-tightening design that made the line successful in 12 and 20 gauge. For hunters who want a lighter-carrying softer-shooting turkey gun that still delivers a killing pattern this load makes it possible.
