HEVI-Shot Hevi-18 TSS 28 Gauge 2.75-Inch #9 Shot, 5-Round Box

HEVI-Shot Hevi-18 TSS 28 Gauge shotshells (brand part no. HS7259) give turkey hunters a sub-gauge shell that hits with far more authority than its bore size suggests. HEVI-Shot loads 1-1/16 ounce of #9 Tungsten Super Shot at 18 grams per cubic centimeter, nearly double the density of standard lead, so smaller pellets carry the energy of much larger lead shot. A friction-reducing spherical buffer keeps those dense pellets from deforming on their way down the barrel, holding patterns tight at range. Crimp-seal resin locks the buffer inside the hull and protects the load from handling damage before it ever reaches the chamber. For 28 gauge turkey hunters who refuse to give up range for a lighter gun, this is Hevi-18’s answer among its shotgun shells.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 28 Gauge, pairing dense TSS patterns with a light, easy-carrying gun.
• The shell length is 2.75 inches, fitting standard 28 gauge chambers.
• The shot size is #9, sized small for pellet count while TSS density keeps energy high.
• The payload weighs 1-1/16 ounce, packing a dense pellet count into the sub-gauge shell.
• Muzzle velocity reaches 1200 fps, driving pellets hard through the pattern.
• The shot material is 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot, far denser than standard 11 g/cc lead.
• A friction-reducing spherical buffer protects pellets from deforming, keeping patterns tight downrange.
• A crimp-seal resin locks the buffer inside the shell and resists handling damage.
• Each box holds 5 rounds, sold in small quantities to match the premium TSS payload.
• At roughly $16.60 per round, the price reflects the tungsten material inside each shell.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Hevi-18 cost more than a standard lead turkey load? Tungsten Super Shot is nearly twice as dense as lead, and that raw material cost is reflected in the price per shell.

Why use #9 shot for turkey hunting? TSS density lets a smaller #9 pellet carry the energy of a much larger lead pellet, so hunters gain pattern density without giving up knockdown power.

How many shells come in a box? Each box holds 5 rounds of 28 gauge Hevi-18 TSS shells.

A hung-up gobbler at the edge of range does not care how light your gun is, only whether the pattern gets there with enough energy to close the deal. Hevi-18 gives a 28 gauge the reach that used to require a bigger bore. Order from our Lubbock, Texas gun shop and it ships fast to your door.
