Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS 20 Gauge 3in #9 Shot Turkey Load

Federal Ammunition Premium Heavyweight TSS turkey ammunition in 20 gauge (part no. PTSSX259F 9) loads a 3-inch, 1 1/2-ounce payload of #9 tungsten super shot built to put dense, lethal patterns on a gobbler’s head and neck at extended range. Federal builds Heavyweight TSS around an 18 gm/cc tungsten-alloy pellet, denser than standard tungsten and lead, so the payload carries more pellets and more energy downrange than a lead load of the same size. The rear-braking FliteControl Flex wad keeps that dense payload together through ported and standard turkey chokes alike. For hunters who want the tightest, most lethal pattern a 20 gauge can throw, this shotgun shells is built for the spring woods.
