Frequently Asked Questions:

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

A: HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition is unique due to its ultra-dense 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets, which are 48% denser than lead. This allows for smaller shot sizes with higher pellet counts, resulting in tighter patterns and increased lethality at longer ranges compared to traditional lead or steel loads.

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

A: This HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load uses #7 shot size with a 2 oz payload. The smaller #7 shot provides a higher pellet count while maintaining excellent downrange energy due to the density of the TSS material.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

A: The muzzle velocity of this HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load is 1250 feet per second (fps).

Q: How many shells are in a box and case?

A: Each box contains 5 shells, and there are 10 boxes in a case, totaling 50 shells per case.

Q: Is this ammunition safe for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns with 3-inch chambers, it's important to note that the dense TSS material can cause increased wear on shotgun barrels and chokes. Always consult your shotgun's manufacturer guidelines before using TSS loads, especially in older or lighter-weight shotguns.

Q: What is the effective range of this turkey load?

A: The effective range of HEVI-18 TSS Turkey loads is typically greater than traditional lead or steel loads. While exact effective range can vary based on choke and individual gun performance, many hunters report ethical kills at distances up to 60-70 yards with proper shot placement.
