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 long-range lethality for turkey hunting.

Q: What is the advantage of using #7 shot in this load?

A: The #7 shot in this HEVI-18 TSS load provides an excellent balance of pellet count and energy retention. Due to the extreme density of TSS, these #7 pellets carry energy comparable to much larger lead shot, allowing for effective turkey hunting at extended ranges while maintaining tight patterns.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

A: The muzzle velocity of this HEVI-18 TSS Turkey load is 1250 feet per second (fps), providing excellent downrange performance and energy transfer for turkey hunting.

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

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

Q: Is this ammunition safe to use in all 20 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 20 gauge shotguns with 3-inch chambers, it's important to ensure your shotgun is rated for high-performance turkey loads. The increased payload and density may produce more recoil than standard loads. Always consult your shotgun's manual and manufacturer recommendations before using any specialized ammunition.
