Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes Federal Turkey Heavyweight TSS ammunition effective for turkey hunting?

A: Federal Turkey Heavyweight TSS ammunition is highly effective for turkey hunting due to its Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) payload. The #7 TSS pellets have a density 22% higher than standard tungsten and 56% higher than lead, resulting in higher pellet counts, increased energy, and higher velocities at extreme ranges. This allows hunters to effectively take turkeys at longer distances compared to traditional loads.

Q: What is the shot size and weight of this ammunition?

A: This Federal Turkey Heavyweight TSS ammunition uses #7 shot size with a payload weight of 1 3/4 oz (49.6 grams). The smaller #7 shot provides a higher pellet count compared to larger shot sizes, while still maintaining excellent energy and penetration for turkey hunting.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

Always check your shotgun's specifications to ensure it can handle 3-inch shells before using this ammunition. Additionally, due to the dense TSS material, it's recommended to use chokes specifically designed for turkey hunting or those rated for use with tungsten shot.
