Somebody has posted in turkey guns that he had information that it would next spring. For twenty gauge!!! Long beards??? Bring it on!!! Cluck. :wagon:
They are selling chokes for the long beards but where are the shells ?Come on winchester make us some long beard 20ga. shells ... :OGturkeyhead:
I think it's posted on the general forum , these shells will be out in a few weeks...check on the general forum..
I think I saw that they will only be loaded with 1 1/8 oz of shot. I wouldn't expect to be very impressed. I shot LB's in my SBEII prior to switching to TSS in my 20 gauge. LB's shot good in my SBEII but even they can't hold a candle to my 20 gauge with TSS in a 2 3/4" shell.
Are you loading your TSS or buying them?

You have to roll your own, loaded shells are not commercially available.

I'm loading the TSS.
Them only traveling 1000 fps is a bit worrisome.

The 20 ga longbeard will be loaded in 1.25 Oz of #5 or #6. There have been a few advertisements in outdoor life and the Game and Fish magazines. Also Mack's Prairie wings has them listed on their site but they don't have them in stock yet.
I talked to them directly. The guy I spoke to told me the first week of April they will be shipped out.

You could buy some, and after season closes, you can pattern them with some different chokes and come next season you'll be ready

Thats exactly what I told the guy. I said it would have been better off waiting till this summer, and letting people be able to do extensive testing with them for next Spring

Well I got 3 boxes of HW7s and a buddy supposed to help me load some TSS. I prolly don't really give a rip when they come out. :funnyturkey:
I'd venture a guess and say they'll be released immediately after the nwtf convention. All the other major trade shows are pretty much wrapped up, the marketing gurus at Winny will not release a new shell mid-season.....
I checked them out at SHOT show and told 3/1 they will start shipping. They were pretty happy with the performance in testing. Time will tell.
