Fiocchi 203TSS9 Golden Turkey TSS 20 Gauge 3" 1-3/8oz #9 Shot

The Fiocchi 203TSS9 Golden Turkey TSS delivers exceptional pattern density and penetration power for turkey hunters demanding maximum effectiveness at extended ranges. This premium 20-gauge load combines tungsten super shot technology with precise manufacturing to create devastating terminal performance on gobblers.

What Makes This Different

Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets achieve 18 g/cc density compared to 11.2 g/cc for lead, delivering 60% more downrange energy retention. The smaller #9 shot size maintains lethal energy while providing 30% more pellets per ounce than traditional #5 shot. Fiocchi's loading precision ensures consistent velocities and tight patterns that extend effective range beyond conventional turkey loads.

Key Features

• Tungsten Super Shot pellets with 18 g/cc density for maximum penetration
• 1-3/8 ounce payload of #9 shot delivers approximately 585 pellets per shell
• 3-inch magnum case provides optimal powder capacity and velocity
• Premium wad design protects pellets and promotes tight patterns
• High-quality brass head construction ensures reliable extraction
• Consistent muzzle velocity around 1,200 fps for flat trajectory
• Compatible with all 20-gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells

Field testing demonstrates effective patterns beyond 50 yards with proper choke selection, extending ethical shot opportunities on wary longbeards. The dense TSS pellets maintain lethal energy at distances where lead shot loses effectiveness. Pattern boards show consistent shot placement with modified to extra-full chokes, making this load suitable for both timber hunting and open field situations.
