HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition delivers exceptional performance for turkey hunters using .410 bore shotguns. These 3-inch shells are loaded with 13/16 oz of ultra-dense 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) in #9 shot size. The high-density TSS pellets provide superior downrange energy and penetration compared to traditional lead loads. With a muzzle velocity of 1090 fps, these shells offer flat trajectories and tight patterns for effective turkey hunting at extended ranges. Each box contains 5 rounds, perfect for those critical shots when pursuing wary gobblers.

Applications & Use Cases:

  • Turkey Hunting: Specifically designed for taking turkeys at extended ranges with .410 Bore shotguns.
  • Small-Bore Hunting: Ideal for hunters using .410 shotguns for other small game at moderate ranges.
  • Youth and Recoil-Sensitive Hunters: Provides excellent performance for hunters using smaller gauge shotguns due to recoil sensitivity or physical size.
  • Extended Range Shots: TSS pellets carry more energy farther downrange, allowing for ethical harvests at longer distances.
  • All-Weather Reliability: Designed for reliable function in semi-automatic shotguns across various weather conditions.

Pros and Cons:

Pros

  • Ultra-Dense Tungsten Super Shot: 18 g/cc density TSS provides superior downrange lethality compared to lead shot.
  • High Pellet Count: #9 shot size offers increased pellet density for improved pattern coverage.
  • Extended Effective Range: TSS maintains energy at longer distances, extending the effective range for turkey hunting.
  • Tight Patterns: Friction-free spherical buffer produces incredibly tight patterns for precise shot placement.
  • Suitable for Smaller Gauges: .410 bore option allows for effective turkey hunting with lighter, more manageable firearms.

Cons

  • Higher Cost: TSS ammunition is typically more expensive than traditional lead or steel shot loads.
  • Limited Versatility: Specialized for turkey hunting, may not be ideal for other hunting applications.
  • Potential for Overpenetration: The dense TSS pellets may pass through smaller game, requiring careful shot placement.
  • Recoil in Smaller Gauges: .410 loads can cause noticeable recoil in lightweight guns.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition unique for turkey hunting?

A: HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition is unique due to its ultra-dense 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets, which are significantly denser than lead (11 g/cc). This higher density allows for smaller shot sizes with higher pellet counts, resulting in denser patterns and increased lethality at longer ranges.

Q: What are the specifications of this .410 Bore HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load?

A: This HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load is for .410 Bore, with a 3-inch shell length. It contains 13/16 oz of #9 shot, propelled at a muzzle velocity of 1090 fps. Each box contains 5 rounds.

Q: How does the #9 shot size in this load compare to traditional turkey loads?

A: The #9 shot size in this TSS load is smaller than traditional lead turkey loads, which often use #4 to #6 shot. However, due to the much higher density of TSS (18 g/cc vs 11 g/cc for lead), these smaller pellets carry more energy downrange and maintain lethality at greater distances.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all .410 shotguns?

A: This ammunition is designed for .410 shotguns with 3-inch chambers. It should not be used in guns with shorter chambers. Due to the high-performance nature of this load, it's recommended to use it only in modern .410 shotguns rated for steel and other high-density non-toxic shots.

Q: What is the effective range of this HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load?

A: The effective range of this load is greater than traditional lead turkey loads due to the high-density TSS pellets. While exact effective range can vary based on choke and individual gun performance, many hunters report ethical kills on turkeys beyond 40 yards with similar TSS loads.

Q: How does the recoil of this load compare to standard .410 ammunition?

A: Despite its high performance, the recoil of this load is manageable in most .410 shotguns. The lighter payload (13/16 oz) compared to larger gauges helps mitigate recoil, making it a good option for recoil-sensitive shooters or youth hunters.
