The HEVI-Shot HS4007 HEVI-18 TSS delivers maximum knockdown power for turkey hunting with tungsten super shot technology that outperforms traditional lead loads. This 12-gauge ammunition combines 2 ounces of #7 tungsten shot in a 3-inch shell for devastating terminal performance at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) provides 56% greater density than lead, creating tighter patterns and deeper penetration at longer distances. The 18 g/cc tungsten pellets maintain velocity better than steel or bismuth alternatives, delivering consistent energy transfer beyond 50 yards. Each pellet carries more kinetic energy downrange, resulting in cleaner kills and reduced crippling losses.
Key Features
- Tungsten Super Shot pellets with 18 g/cc density for maximum penetration
- 2-ounce payload of #7 shot delivers dense, lethal patterns
- 3-inch magnum shell optimized for 12-gauge shotguns
- Premium wad design reduces pellet deformation during barrel transit
- Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent velocities in field conditions
- Nickel-plated brass head construction prevents corrosion
- Compatible with standard 3-inch chamber shotguns
Field testing demonstrates pattern densities exceeding 200 pellets in a 10-inch circle at 40 yards through modified chokes. The tungsten composition maintains lethal energy at ranges where conventional loads lose effectiveness, extending ethical shooting distances for experienced hunters. Cold weather performance remains consistent due to temperature-insensitive powder formulation and tungsten's thermal stability.
