Federal partnered with choke designer Rob Roberts of Roberts Custom Gunworks (brand part no. PTSSX295FRR9) to build this Special Edition Heavyweight TSS load, packing a 3-inch 20 gauge hull with 1-5/8 ounces of #9 tungsten-alloy shot. Federal Ammunition loads HEAVYWEIGHT TSS shot at 18 grams per cubic centimeter, 56 percent denser than lead, packing more pellets and more energy into the same payload. The No. 9 shot size reflects Roberts’ own preference for maximum pellet count and pattern density on hung-up gobblers. In shotgun shells built for the serious turkey hunter, this collaboration load is a genuine specialty piece.
