Federal Heavyweight TSS 12GA 3.5″ #7 Turkey Ammo 2-1/4oz

Description

When you're setting up for a mature gobbler that's hanging up at 45 yards, Federal Heavyweight TSS is exactly what you need. These 3.5-inch shells pack 2-1/4 ounces of tungsten super shot in a #7 size, delivering around 424 pellets downrange at 1200 fps. That's roughly twice as many pellets as you'd get from a lead #5 load of the same weight, and every single one of them hits with more energy retained at distance.

What makes this load special isn't just the pellet count, it's the density. Tungsten runs 18 grams per cubic centimeter, which is 22 percent denser than standard tungsten and 56 percent denser than lead. In practical terms, this means a #7 tungsten pellet hits as hard as a #5 lead pellet, so you get pattern density and penetration without stepping up to huge shot sizes.

The FLITECONTROL FLEX Advantage

Federal engineered the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad specifically for tight patterns through standard and ported turkey chokes. The rear-braking design stabilizes your pattern from the muzzle all the way out, and the full-length wad prevents those hard tungsten pellets from ever touching your bore, which protects your barrel from wear. Advanced buffering material keeps everything in place through the shot column, so you get consistent patterns every time.

Real Performance at Real Range

These load patterns densely enough that you can make ethical shots well beyond what traditional loads allow. Pattern testing shows these shells putting well over 100 pellets in a 10-inch circle at 40 yards through most turkey chokes, which is exactly what you're looking for in a gobbler's vitals zone. The velocity and pellet density hold together so well at distance that you've got genuine range without sacrificing lethality.
