Frequently Asked Questions:

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

A: The HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition is exceptional for turkey hunting due to its ultra-dense 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets. These pellets are 48% denser than lead, allowing for smaller shot sizes with higher pellet counts. The #9 shot provides excellent pattern density and long-range lethality, making it highly effective for taking down turkeys at extended distances.

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

A: This ammunition uses #9 shot size with a payload of 2 1/4 oz. The smaller #9 shot, combined with the ultra-dense TSS material, provides an incredibly high pellet count for superior pattern density and increased hit probability on turkeys.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

A: The muzzle velocity of the HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition is 1250 feet per second (fps). This high velocity contributes to the ammunition's long-range effectiveness and hard-hitting performance on turkeys.

Q: How many rounds are in a box and case of this ammunition?

A: Each box of HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition contains 5 rounds. A full case consists of 10 boxes, totaling 50 rounds per case.

Q: Is this ammunition safe to use in all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns with 3 1/2" chambers, it's important to note that not all 12 gauge shotguns can safely fire 3 1/2" shells. Always check your shotgun's specifications and ensure it's rated for 3 1/2" magnum loads before using this ammunition. Additionally, due to the ultra-dense TSS material, it's recommended to use chokes specifically designed for TSS or extra-full turkey chokes.

Q: What makes this ammunition environmentally friendly?

A: The HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition is non-toxic, making it environmentally friendly and compliant with regulations that prohibit lead shot. The Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) material is a safe alternative to lead, allowing hunters to use this ammunition in areas where lead shot is restricted.
