Apex Ninja Next Level TSS 20 Gauge 3-Inch #8.5/9.5 Shot Turkey Shotshell, 5-Round Box

The Apex Ninja Next Level TSS 20 Gauge 3-inch #8.5/9.5 Shot shotshell (Apex item no. NINJA20NL) is a dedicated turkey hunting load built around tungsten super shot instead of traditional lead. Apex loads this shell with tungsten super shot (TSS), a material dense enough to pack far more pellets into the same payload weight than lead, which tightens patterns and adds knockdown power at the longer ranges turkey hunters often have to take. It leaves the muzzle and carries 1-5/8oz of shot in a 20 Gauge 3-inch hull. It’s built in collaboration with Woodhaven Custom Calls, developed from hunter feedback to bridge the gap between Apex’s original Small Town and Greenleaf duplex blends. It’s built for hunters who want a serious edge on a bird that’s notoriously hard to put down cleanly at distance.

Key Specifications

• Chambered for 20 Gauge, 3-inch shells, so it fits any shotgun built for that length chamber.
• Shot charge is #8.5/9.5 Shot tungsten super shot, a duplex blend mixing two pellet sizes for both pattern density and knockdown mass.
• Payload weight is 1-5/8 ounces of shot, heavier than a typical lead turkey load of the same volume because TSS is so much denser.
• This load was developed with Woodhaven Custom Calls from direct hunter feedback, aimed at splitting the difference between Apex’s Small Town and Greenleaf blends.
• Sold in 5-round boxes, which works out to about $15.15 per shell at this price — typical for a premium TSS turkey load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge and shell length does this load fit? It’s built for 20 Gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells.

Why use tungsten super shot instead of lead for turkey hunting? TSS is nearly twice as dense as lead, so a given payload weight packs more pellets and produces a denser, more lethal pattern at typical turkey ranges.

How many shells come in a box? Each box holds 5 shells, the standard count for a premium turkey-specific TSS load.
