  • Ethical Hunting: High pellet count and energy retention promote clean, ethical harvests.

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 an extremely high number of pellets per shell for increased hit probability.
  • ✔ Extended Range Performance: The combination of TSS and high velocity (1250 fps) allows for effective turkey hunting at longer distances.
  • ✔ Heavy Payload: 2 oz of shot provides maximum energy transfer and devastating knockdown power on turkeys and game.
  • ✔ Tight Patterns: Utilizes a unique, friction-free, sealed-in-the-shell spherical buffer for consistently tight patterns.

Cons

  • ✘ Higher Cost: TSS ammunition is typically more expensive than traditional lead or steel turkey loads.
  • ✘ Recoil: The 3" shell with 2 oz of shot can produce significant felt recoil, especially in lighter shotguns.
  • ✘ Overkill for Close Range: The extreme density and tight patterns may be excessive for turkeys at very close distances.
  • ✘ Limited Versatility: Specialized for turkey hunting, not ideal for other types of hunting or target shooting.

About HEVI-Shot:

HEVI-Shot, a brand of Environ-Metal, Inc., was founded in 2000 and has quickly become a leader in high-performance, non-toxic shotshell ammunition. Based in Sweet Home, Oregon, HEVI-Shot is known for its innovative tungsten-based shot, which offers superior density and performance compared to traditional lead shot. The company's commitment to conservation and ethical hunting practices led to the development of their signature HEVI-Shot, a tungsten-iron-nickel alloy that outperforms steel and even approaches the performance of lead without the environmental concerns. HEVI-Shot's products are manufactured in the United States, ensuring high quality and supporting American jobs. The brand is particularly popular among waterfowl and turkey hunters for its extended range and hard-hitting performance.

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, providing superior long-range lethality and tighter patterns for turkey hunting.

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

A: This HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load is a 12 gauge, 3-inch shell containing 2 oz of #9 shot. It has a muzzle velocity of 1250 fps and comes in boxes of 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 turkey loads, which often use #4 to #6 shot. However, due to the extreme density of TSS, these smaller pellets maintain energy downrange comparable to larger lead shot, while providing significantly higher pellet counts for denser patterns.

Q: Is this ammunition safe to use in 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 ultra-dense TSS can create higher pressures. Always consult your shotgun's manual and ensure it's rated for high-performance turkey loads before using this ammunition.

Q: How does the recoil of this HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load compare to standard loads?

A: Due to its 2 oz payload and 1250 fps velocity, this HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load will produce more recoil than standard field loads. The increased recoil is a trade-off for the enhanced performance and longer effective range for turkey hunting.
