The HEVI-Shot HS7109 HEVI-18 TSS delivers devastating turkey hunting performance through tungsten super shot technology that maintains lethal energy at extended ranges. This 20-gauge load combines a 1.25-ounce payload of #9 tungsten shot with optimal velocity for clean, ethical kills beyond traditional lead shot distances.
What Makes This Different
Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) technology provides 56% greater density than lead, creating deeper penetration and wider effective range. The #9 shot size delivers 40% more pellets per ounce compared to #5 lead shot while maintaining superior downrange energy. Each 2.75-inch shell generates consistent patterns with minimal flyers, maximizing hit probability on vital zones.
Key Features
- Tungsten Super Shot construction - 56% denser than lead for maximum penetration
- 1.25-ounce payload of #9 shot - 40% more pellets than equivalent lead loads
- 2.75-inch shell length - compatible with all 20-gauge shotguns
- Optimized powder charge for consistent 1200+ fps velocity
- Premium wad design prevents pellet deformation during acceleration
- Temperature-stable propellant maintains performance in varying conditions
- Nickel-plated brass heads resist corrosion and extraction issues
Field testing demonstrates effective lethal range extension of 15-20 yards over premium lead turkey loads. The dense tungsten pellets retain energy through thick cover and maintain consistent patterns at 40+ yards. Hunters report clean kills on mature gobblers with proper shot placement, even through heavy breast feathers and bone. The smaller shot size increases pattern density while tungsten composition ensures adequate penetration.
