The HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition delivers exceptional performance for turkey hunters. Featuring ultra-dense 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets, this 20 gauge load allows for smaller shot sizes and higher pellet counts, resulting in superior long-range lethality. The unique friction-free sealed-in-the-shell spherical buffer contributes to incredibly tight patterns. With TSS being 48% denser than lead, hunters can use smaller shot sizes while maintaining downrange effectiveness. This 20 gauge, 2 3/4" shell is loaded with 1 1/4 oz of #9 shot, providing high pellet counts and devastating terminal performance on turkeys.
