Federal Heavyweight TSS 20 Gauge 3" shells offer exceptional performance for turkey hunting. These loads feature a payload of #7 and #9 Tungsten Super Shot, providing higher pellet counts than traditional lead loads. The tungsten-alloy material has a density of 18 gm/cc, which is 22% denser than standard tungsten and 56% denser than lead. This results in more energy and higher velocities at extreme ranges. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad ensures consistent, tight patterns through both ported and standard turkey chokes, making these shells highly effective for taking gobblers at extended distances.
