The HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey 28 Gauge 3" ammunition is a high-performance shotshell designed for turkey hunting. It features a unique blend of #5, #6, and #7 Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets, providing a dense and lethal pattern. With a 1 1/4 oz payload and a muzzle velocity of 1300 fps, this load delivers exceptional downrange energy and penetration. The 12 g/cc density TSS pellets allow hunters to use smaller shot sizes for the same lethality as larger lead pellets, resulting in more pellets on target and increased hit probability.
