The HEVI-Shot HS7289 HEVI-18 TSS delivers devastating turkey performance in a compact 28-gauge platform. This premium tungsten super shot ammunition transforms smaller gauge shotguns into serious turkey hunting tools with pattern density that rivals larger bore options.
What Makes This Different
Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) provides 56% greater density than lead, creating lethal energy at extended ranges where traditional loads fail. The 18 g/cc tungsten pellets maintain velocity and penetration far beyond conventional shot materials. Each 1 1/4-ounce load packs more effective pellets per ounce than lead equivalents, resulting in tighter patterns and cleaner kills.
Key Features
- Tungsten Super Shot pellets deliver 56% higher density than lead shot
- Size 9 shot provides optimal pellet count for head and neck shots
- 1 1/4-ounce payload maximizes pattern density in 28-gauge platform
- 3-inch magnum shells generate consistent velocities across temperature ranges
- Premium wads protect bore and optimize pattern performance
- Environmentally safe tungsten composition for sensitive hunting areas
- Consistent crimp quality ensures reliable feeding and extraction
Field testing demonstrates effective turkey kills beyond 40 yards with proper shot placement. The smaller 28-gauge platform reduces felt recoil compared to 12-gauge magnums while maintaining lethal performance. TSS pellets retain energy through dense cover and maintain round integrity upon impact. Temperature stability ensures consistent performance from early season heat through late season cold snaps.
