When you're chasing a longbeard that hangs up just out of range, the load in your gun makes all the difference. Browning's TSS Tungsten Turkey stacks the deck in your favor with Tungsten Super Shot, a pellet material that's nearly 60% denser than lead. That extra density is the whole story here. It lets a small #7 pellet carry more downrange energy and punch deeper than a bigger lead pellet, so you get more knockdown power without giving up the pellet count that fills out a pattern.
Each 12 gauge, 3.5" shell carries a hefty 2 1/4 oz payload of #7 tungsten shot moving at a listed 1,200 fps. Because the shot is so dense, a #7 TSS pellet penetrates far deeper than the #5 lead many hunters grew up on, while a payload this size still gives you a similar pellet count to those old-school lead loads. In plain terms, that means more pellets landing on a turkey's head and neck with plenty of energy behind each one out to around 60 to 70 yards when your gun is patterned right.
TSS shot is extremely hard, so Browning builds these shells with a wad that uses thick petals to protect your barrel, along with Grex buffering packed around the pellets. That buffering keeps the shot from deforming as it flows through the choke, which translates to tighter, more consistent patterns downrange. It's the kind of behind-the-scenes engineering you don't see but definitely notice on the pattern board.
One thing worth knowing about TSS: because the pellets are so hard, they often pattern best through a slightly more open choke than you'd expect. A lot of guys find their tightest, most even patterns with a dedicated TSS turkey choke rather than the tightest extra-full tube they own. The only way to know for sure is to put a few on paper at 40 yards and count what lands in a 10-inch circle. Spend a little time patterning your specific gun and choke with these, and you'll head into the woods knowing exactly what your setup can do.
With a properly patterned gun and choke, this load is built to reach turkeys out to around 60 to 70 yards. The tungsten shot holds energy and penetration far better than lead at those distances. That said, always pattern your own setup and only take shots at ranges where you're putting plenty of pellets in a 10-inch circle.
Tungsten is nearly 60% denser than lead, so a smaller #7 TSS pellet actually penetrates deeper than a larger #5 lead pellet. On top of that, the smaller size lets you pack more pellets into the same payload for a denser pattern. You end up with more pellets on target and more energy behind each one.
TSS shot is very hard, so it often patterns best through a slightly more open choke than the tightest extra-full tube. Many hunters get their best results from a dedicated TSS turkey choke. The only reliable way to know is to pattern your specific gun and choke combination at 40 yards before the hunt.
Yes, these use a reloadable plastic shell with a Boxer primer. If you handload turkey shells, the spent hulls are worth saving. Just keep in mind that TSS components are specialized, so reloading these is more involved than working with standard shot.
