“shot lok”

When Winchester first released its popular Varmint X line of ammunition, the engineers were going for something fast and flat with minimal recoil. What wasn't offered in the original Varmint X line, though, was ammunition for those who prefer to deploy their favorite scattergun against feral hogs, coyotes and other predators. That's changing in 2016, as Winchester has officially announced a new 12-gauge shotshell addition to the Varmint X line.

Winchester Ammunition has announced a 20-gauge load of its Long Beard XR turkey.

Winchester announces its National Wild Turkey Federation 50th Anniversary commemorative Long Beard XR turkey ammunition in 2023, a tribute to one of the most prolific conservation organizations of all time.

The American Hunter staff hunts. Plain and simple. And like all hunters, we put faith in the gear we use to get into the mountains, to hike all day and to venture into freezing waters and push through driving rain. We expect our gear to do what it was made to do, to hold up to the beating we give it, time and time again. This collection is a reflection of that. First up: the upland hunter.
