HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey 28 Gauge ammunition delivers exceptional performance for turkey hunting. These 3-inch shells are loaded with 1 1/4 oz of #7 Tungsten Super Shot (TSS), providing high pellet counts and superior downrange lethality. With a muzzle velocity of 1200 fps, these shells offer flat trajectories and hard-hitting power. The ultra-dense 18 g/cc TSS pellets allow for smaller shot sizes while maintaining devastating effectiveness at extended ranges. HEVI-Shot's unique friction-free sealed-in-the-shell spherical buffer contributes to incredibly tight patterns, giving hunters a significant advantage in the field.

Pros and Cons:

Pros

  • Ultra-Dense Tungsten Super Shot: 18 g/cc density TSS pellets allow for smaller shot sizes and higher pellet counts.
  • Long-Range Lethality: 48% more dense than lead, providing superior downrange energy and effectiveness.
  • Tight Patterns: Unique friction-free sealed-in-the-shell spherical buffer ensures tight, consistent patterns.
  • High Velocity: 1200 fps muzzle velocity for flat trajectories 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, resulting in tighter patterns and increased lethality at longer ranges.

Q: How does the #7 shot size in this load compare to traditional turkey loads?

A: The #7 shot size in this HEVI-18 TSS load is smaller than traditional turkey loads, which often use #4 or #5 shot. However, due to the higher density of TSS, these #7 pellets carry the same energy as much larger lead shot, allowing for increased pellet count and denser patterns while maintaining lethal energy at extended ranges.

Q: What is the advantage of using 28 gauge for turkey hunting?

A: The 28 gauge offers reduced recoil compared to larger gauges while still providing effective turkey-hunting performance when paired with dense TSS loads. This HEVI-18 TSS load allows 28 gauge hunters to achieve similar or better performance to larger gauges with less felt recoil and a lighter, more maneuverable shotgun.

Q: How many shells come in a box and case of this ammunition?

A: Each box of HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey 28 Gauge ammunition contains 5 shells. A full case consists of 10 boxes, for a total of 50 shells per case.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this load?

A: The muzzle velocity of this HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load is 1200 feet per second (fps).

Q: Is this ammunition safe for use in all 28 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 28 gauge shotguns, it's important to ensure your firearm is rated for 3-inch shells and can handle high-performance loads. Always consult your shotgun's manual or a qualified gunsmith before using any new ammunition.
