The HEVI-Shot HS1007 HEVI-18 TSS delivers devastating knockdown power in a compact 410 gauge platform, utilizing premium tungsten super shot technology for maximum pellet density and penetration. This specialized turkey load extends effective range beyond traditional lead alternatives while maintaining tight pattern integrity.
What Makes This Different
Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets achieve 18 grams per cubic centimeter density compared to 11.2 g/cc³ for lead shot, resulting in 40% more downrange energy retention. The 13/16-ounce payload delivers approximately 294 #7 pellets per shell, creating dense patterns that maintain lethality at extended distances. Standard lead turkey loads in 410 gauge typically struggle beyond 25 yards, while this TSS formulation extends reliable performance to 40+ yards.
Key Features
- Tungsten Super Shot pellets with 18 g/cc³ density for maximum penetration
- 13/16-ounce payload containing approximately 294 #7 shot pellets
- 3-inch magnum shell length optimized for 410 gauge platforms
- Buffered shot column reduces pellet deformation during firing
- Premium hull construction rated for high-pressure TSS loads
- Consistent velocity averaging 1,100 feet per second
- Compatible with all 410 gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells
Field performance data shows this load maintains 90% pattern density at 30 yards through modified choke tubes, with effective penetration on turkey vitals extending beyond 35 yards. The smaller 410 gauge platform reduces felt recoil compared to 12 or 20 gauge TSS loads while delivering comparable terminal performance on target. Weather-sealed primers and moisture-resistant powder charges ensure reliable ignition in humid spring hunting conditions.
