The HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey 28 Gauge ammunition is a high-performance option for turkey hunters. Featuring ultra-dense 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets, this load allows for smaller shot sizes and higher pellet counts, resulting in superior long-range lethality. The 3-inch shell is loaded with 1-1/4 oz of #9 shot, delivering an impressive 1200 fps muzzle velocity. HEVI-Shot's unique friction-free sealed-in-the-shell spherical buffer contributes to exceptionally tight patterns. With TSS being 48% denser than lead, hunters can use smaller shot sizes for the same downrange energy, making this an excellent choice for extending effective range on turkeys.

Pros and Cons:
Pros
- ✔ Ultra-Dense TSS: 18 g/cc density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) allows for smaller shot size and higher pellet counts.
- ✔ Long-Range Lethality: Extremely dense TSS maintains energy downrange for effective turkey hunting at extended distances.
- ✔ High Velocity: 1200 fps muzzle velocity provides flat trajectory and quick target acquisition.
- ✔ Tight Patterns: Unique friction-free sealed-in-the-shell spherical buffer helps achieve incredibly tight patterns.
- ✔ Versatile Shot Size: #9 shot offers high pellet count for increased hit probability on turkey vitals.
Cons
- ✘ Cost: Premium TSS loads are typically more expensive than traditional lead or steel turkey loads.
- ✘ Recoil: High-performance 3" shells in 28 gauge may produce noticeable recoil, especially in lightweight guns.
- ✘ Overkill for Close Range: The extreme lethality of TSS may be unnecessary for typical turkey hunting distances.
- ✘ Limited Versatility: Specialized turkey load may not be ideal for other hunting applications or target shooting.
