Federal Premium Turkey Heavyweight TSS 12 Gauge 3.5" shotshells deliver exceptional performance for turkey hunting. These shells feature a payload of #7 and #9 Heavyweight Tungsten Super Shot, providing the highest pellet counts possible - up to double those of lead #5 loads of the same weight. The tungsten-alloy material's 18 gm/cc density is 22% higher than standard tungsten and 56% more than lead, resulting in maximum energy and highest velocities at extreme range. The rear-braking FLITECONTROL FLEX wad ensures consistent, tight patterns through both ported and standard turkey chokes.
