Featuring the new-to-the-world Shot-Lok technology, Long Beard XR is capable of producing twice the pellets in a 10" circle out to 60 yards compared to traditional lead loads.

Home Charcoal Bluing Test

Charcoal bluing is one of the traditional bluing methods used on many fine firearms (including vintage Colts & Winchesters).

Winchester Blind Side

Blind Side’s Diamond Cut wad stays with the pellets longer, providing denser patterns that are responsive to choke.
