Winchester Long Beard TSS (brand part no. LBT1239) is a 12 gauge, 3 inch turkey load built around #9 Tungsten Super Shot, a shot material roughly 40 percent denser than lead. That extra density means more pellets per payload and tighter, more consistent patterns at ranges where standard lead turkey loads start to open up and lose effectiveness. Winchester built the Long Beard TSS line specifically for turkey hunters who want to stretch their effective range without sacrificing pattern density on target. This box holds 5 shells, sized for a day in the blind rather than a full case.
