When you're chasing a hung-up gobbler that won't close the distance, your choke and ammo pairing matters more than almost anything else in the setup. Carlson's built this Long Beard tube specifically to run with Winchester's Long Beard XR ammunition, and that matched pairing is where it really shines. The .660 constriction and ported design work together to throw a dense, even pattern that keeps pellets on target where it counts.
This one is machined from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel with a matte black finish, so it holds up to corrosion and years of hard use. Carlson's runs a longer parallel section on these turkey tubes, roughly a full inch beyond the muzzle, which helps settle the shot column and tighten things up downrange. When you run it with the recommended Winchester Long Beard XR loads using 3-inch #6 shot, you're looking at an average of around 182 pellets in a 10-inch circle at 40 yards. That's a serious concentration of shot for headshots on a longbeard.
The porting up front does double duty by helping tame muzzle jump, which is a welcome thing when you're touching off heavy turkey loads. Guys running it with Long Beard XR shells consistently report tight, dense patterns holding well past 50 yards, and it plays nice on Winchester, Browning Invector, Weatherby, and Mossberg 500 shotguns using the standard Win Choke thread pattern. Beyond lead, this tube also handles nickel plated, copper plated, Bismuth, Tungsten, and Hevi-Shot, along with steel shot smaller than #4.
Pattern it before the season with the exact load you plan to hunt, mark your effective range, and you'll head into the woods knowing exactly where that bird needs to be. Carlson's backs it with a lifetime warranty and machines it right here in the USA, so it's a tube you can lean on year after year.
This tube was purpose-built to pair with Winchester Long Beard XR turkey loads, and that's where it delivers its tightest, densest patterns. Running the recommended 3-inch #6 shot, it averages around 182 pellets in a 10-inch circle at 40 yards. It also handles lead, plated, Bismuth, Tungsten, and Hevi-Shot, plus steel shot smaller than #4.
It uses the standard Winchester Invector (Win Choke) thread pattern, so it fits Winchester, Browning Invector, Weatherby, and Mossberg 500 shotguns cut for that thread. If you're unsure, check your barrel's choke system against Carlson's interchange guide before ordering. Mixing up thread patterns is the most common fitment mistake.
The .660 constriction is a tight turkey choke, and paired with the extended parallel section it stacks pellets in a small circle out past 40 and even 50 yards. The porting up front also helps knock down muzzle jump from heavy turkey loads. Pattern your gun with your chosen load to confirm your effective range before the hunt.
Yes, this tube is rated for Tungsten and Hevi-Shot along with lead, Bismuth, and plated shot. The main limitation is steel, which should be #4 or smaller. As always, pattern each load type so you know how it performs before heading afield.
