Pros and Cons:
Pros
- ✔ Extremely Dense Shot: Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) is 22% denser than standard tungsten and 56% denser than lead, providing superior energy and velocity at long ranges.
- ✔ High Pellet Count: The #9 shot size combined with the dense TSS material results in exceptionally high pellet counts for improved pattern density.
- ✔ Flitecontrol Flex Wad: Provides extremely tight, consistent patterns through both standard and ported turkey chokes.
- ✔ Non-Toxic: TSS is a non-toxic alternative to lead, making it compliant with hunting regulations in all areas.
- ✔ Extended Effective Range: The combination of dense shot and tight patterns allows for ethical turkey harvests at longer distances compared to traditional loads.
Cons
- ✘ Higher Cost: TSS ammunition is generally more expensive than traditional lead or steel turkey loads due to the advanced materials and technology used.
- ✘ Recoil: The high density of TSS can result in increased felt recoil, especially in lighter 20 gauge shotguns.
- ✘ Overpenetration Risk: The superior penetration of TSS may require extra caution when hunting in areas with potential for pass-through shots.
- ✘ Limited Versatility: While excellent for turkeys, this specialized load may be overkill for other small game hunting applications.
