Winchester’s Long Beard XR turkey ammo was a big success in 2014 and 2015 looks to have big things in store as well. By big, we mean magnum. The Long Beard is a 3 times NWTF world record holder and now magnum shells will be available to further inflict damage on many an unsuspecting bird.

You might want a few of these in your turkey bag this spring.
