Federal Premium Turkey Heavyweight TSS 12 Gauge 3.5" shotshells deliver exceptional performance for turkey hunting. These shells feature a payload of #7 and #9 Heavyweight Tungsten Super Shot, providing the highest pellet counts possible - up to double those of lead #5 loads of the same weight. The tungsten-alloy material's 18 gm/cc density is 22% higher than standard tungsten and 56% more than lead, resulting in maximum energy and highest velocities at extreme range. The rear-braking FLITECONTROL FLEX wad ensures consistent, tight patterns through both ported and standard turkey chokes.

✔ Versatile Performance: Effective at extended ranges, allowing hunters to take ethical shots at distances beyond traditional turkey loads.
✔ Barrel Protection: Full-length wads prevent direct contact between the hard TSS pellets and the bore, protecting the barrel.

Cons

✘ Recoil: The 3.5" shell with 2.5 oz payload may produce significant felt recoil, especially in lighter shotguns.
✘ Cost: Premium TSS loads are typically more expensive than traditional lead or steel turkey loads.
✘ Overkill for Close Range: The high energy and tight patterns may be excessive for turkeys at very close distances.
✘ Limited Applications: Specifically designed for turkey hunting, making it less versatile for other types of hunting or shooting.
