The Federal Premium TSS 28 Gauge delivers maximum knockdown power through tungsten super shot technology in a compact shell configuration. This premium ammunition transforms the traditionally light 28 gauge into a formidable hunting round capable of taking larger game at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets are 56% denser than lead, creating devastating terminal performance from the smaller 28 gauge platform. Each 1-5/8 ounce load contains approximately 410 individual #9 pellets, delivering pattern density that rivals larger gauge shells. The tungsten composition maintains pellet integrity through barriers while transferring maximum energy on impact.
Key Features
- Tungsten Super Shot pellets - 56% denser than lead for superior penetration
- 1-5/8 ounce payload with approximately 410 individual #9 pellets
- 3-inch magnum shell length maximizes powder capacity and velocity
- FliteControl Flex wad system for consistent, tight patterns
- Brass-plated steel head construction for reliable extraction
- Premium primer and powder for consistent ignition and velocity
- Compatible with all 28 gauge firearms chambered for 3-inch shells
Field testing demonstrates exceptional pattern density at ranges exceeding traditional 28 gauge capabilities. The tungsten pellets maintain lethal energy past 40 yards, making this load effective for turkey hunting where precise shot placement is critical. Weather-resistant construction ensures reliable performance in adverse conditions, while the balanced powder charge produces manageable recoil despite the heavy payload.
