Apex Ammunition‘s Waterfowl TSS/S3 Steel Blend in 12 gauge (brand part no. WS3-475) loads a 3-inch shell with a 1-5/16 ounce duplex payload at a listed 1,450 feet per second for hunters who want more pattern density than a straight steel load provides. This duplex shell blends S3 steel shot with ultra-dense Tungsten Super Shot in the same payload, combining steel’s proven waterfowl reliability with TSS’s tighter, harder-hitting pattern at extended range. Whether the birds are working a decoy spread close or passing high overhead, the blended payload gives shooters a wider effective window than a single shot type alone. For 12 gauge waterfowlers chasing every pattern advantage, this shotgun shells load is built for the blind.
