The Browning TSS Tungsten Turkey ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance through premium tungsten shot technology. This 20-gauge load combines the manageable recoil of smaller gauge platforms with the knockdown power traditionally reserved for 12-gauge shells.
What Makes This Different
Tungsten shot pellets achieve 18% higher density than traditional lead, creating deeper penetration and more consistent patterns at extended ranges. The 1.5-ounce payload maintains lethal energy beyond 50 yards while producing 40% tighter shot groups than comparable lead loads. Advanced buffer material prevents pellet deformation during acceleration, ensuring maximum retained energy downrange.
Key Features
- Premium tungsten #7 shot pellets for superior penetration and retained energy
- 1.5-ounce payload delivers maximum knockdown power in 20-gauge platform
- 3-inch magnum shell length optimizes powder capacity and velocity
- Specialized buffer prevents shot deformation for consistent patterns
- High-brass construction withstands magnum pressures reliably
- Nickel-plated shot resists corrosion in humid hunting conditions
- Factory crimped for consistent chamber pressure and accuracy
Field testing demonstrates consistent 40-yard lethal patterns with 90% pellet retention inside a 10-inch circle. The tungsten composition maintains velocity longer than lead alternatives, extending effective range by 15-20 yards over standard turkey loads. Weather-sealed primers and powder ensure reliable ignition in temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F.
