The Federal Premium Turkey Heavyweight TSS 20 Gauge delivers exceptional knockdown power with tungsten super shot technology that outperforms traditional lead loads by 56%. This 3-inch shell packs 1.5 ounces of #9 shot for dense, lethal patterns at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets are 56% denser than lead, creating devastating energy transfer and deeper penetration on tough gobblers. Each pellet maintains velocity longer than lead alternatives, extending effective range by 10-15 yards compared to standard turkey loads. The FliteControl Flex wad system delivers consistent, tight patterns while protecting the shot column during acceleration.
Key Features
- Tungsten Super Shot pellets - 56% denser than lead for superior penetration
- 1.5 oz payload of #9 shot for maximum pellet count and pattern density
- 3-inch magnum shell length for increased powder capacity
- FliteControl Flex wad technology for consistent pattern performance
- Muzzle velocity of 1,200 fps for flat trajectory
- 20 gauge platform reduces recoil while maintaining lethal effectiveness

Field testing demonstrates consistent 40+ yard performance on mature turkeys, with pattern densities exceeding 100 pellets in a 10-inch circle at that distance. The 20 gauge platform allows hunters to maintain quick follow-up shots while delivering terminal performance that rivals larger gauges. Weather-sealed primer and powder charge ensure reliable ignition in wet conditions during spring seasons.
