HEVI-Shot HS7009 HEVI-18 TSS Turkey 20GA 3" 1.5oz #9 Shot

The HEVI-Shot HS7009 HEVI-18 TSS delivers devastating turkey performance with tungsten super shot technology in a 20-gauge platform. This premium ammunition combines the lighter recoil of 20-gauge with the knockdown power traditionally reserved for larger gauges. Hunters gain extended range capabilities and tighter patterns without the punishing shoulder impact of magnum 12-gauge loads.

What Makes This Different

Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) provides 56% greater density than traditional lead shot, creating deeper penetration and more consistent kills at extended ranges. The 1.5-ounce payload delivers approximately 40% more pellets than standard lead loads of the same weight. Each pellet carries significantly more energy downrange, maintaining lethal velocity beyond 50 yards where conventional shot loses effectiveness.

Key Features

• Tungsten Super Shot pellets for maximum density and penetration power
• 20-gauge 3-inch magnum shells with 1.5-ounce payload
• Size 9 shot provides optimal pellet count for turkey head/neck targeting
• Reduced recoil compared to equivalent 12-gauge TSS loads
• Premium wad design optimizes pattern consistency
• Nickel-plated brass heads resist corrosion in humid conditions
• Factory-loaded for consistent velocity and pressure specifications

Field performance demonstrates exceptional pattern density at 40+ yard ranges where standard lead shot begins to lose effectiveness. The smaller 20-gauge platform allows for faster target acquisition and reduced fatigue during long hunting sessions. TSS technology maintains lethal energy at distances that would require magnum 12-gauge loads with conventional shot, making this an ideal choice for youth hunters or those sensitive to heavy recoil.
