Winchester Long Beard Tungsten Features Because tungsten alloy shot is significantly denser than lead the #9 pellets in this Winchester Long Beard Tungsten load retain more downrange energy than similarly sized lead shot letting 20 gauge hunters reach out to ranges typically reserved for larger gauges. The buffered payload protects pellets from deformation under firing pressure keeping the shot column round and consistent as it moves through the choke which translates directly into tighter more lethal patterns on a gobbler s head and neck. This pattern density advantage is especially valuable in the 20 gauge where lighter overall payloads make every pellet s placement count. Hunters who prefer the reduced recoil and lighter carry weight of a 20 gauge no longer have to sacrifice pattern performance to get it. Rated to 1100 fps on a high brass hull this load is purpose-built for turkey hunting rather than general small game use concentrating the tungsten payload for maximum effect at typical turkey ranges. Packaged five rounds to the box and ten boxes to the case Long Beard Tungsten in 20 gauge gives hunters an accessible way to upgrade their pattern performance without moving up to a heavier gun. Winchester s turkey ammunition engineering applies the same buffered shot technology across every gauge in the Long Beard Tungsten lineup so 20 gauge shooters get the same core benefits as 12 gauge hunters. For a lighter easier-carrying turkey gun that still hits hard this load delivers.
