Federal Turkey Heavyweight TSS 12 Gauge 3 1/2" 2 1/4 oz #9 Shot is a premium turkey hunting load designed for maximum effectiveness at extended ranges. This ammunition features Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets, 22% denser than standard tungsten and 56% denser than lead. The increased density results in higher pellet counts, more energy, and higher velocities at extreme distances. The load utilizes Federal's FLITECONTROL FLEX wad for consistent, tight patterns through standard and ported turkey chokes. With its 2 1/4 oz payload of #9 TSS shot, this 3 1/2" shell delivers devastating performance on turkeys at long range.
