Apex TSS 12 Gauge 3.5-Inch #9 Shot Turkey Shotshell, 5-Round Box

The Apex TSS 12 Gauge 3.5-inch #9 Shot shotshell (Apex item no. PT3.5-9) 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 at roughly 1175 fps and carries 2-1/2oz of shot in a 12 Gauge 3.5-inch hull. 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 12 Gauge, 3.5-inch shells, so it fits any shotgun built for that length chamber.
• Shot charge is #9 Shot tungsten super shot, a single pellet size tuned for dense, even patterns.
• Payload weight is 2-1/2 ounces of shot, heavier than a typical lead turkey load of the same volume because TSS is so much denser.
• Muzzle velocity is rated at 1175 fps, giving the pattern time to open before it reaches typical turkey ranges.
• Sold in 5-round boxes, which works out to about $20.37 per shell at this price — typical for a premium TSS turkey load.
