Fiocchi brings serious turkey hunting firepower with the Golden Turkey TSS. These 3-inch shells pack tungsten super shot at 1200 fps, built around a 1-5/8oz payload of #9 pellets. The difference between these and traditional lead loads comes down to density: tungsten is 60% denser than lead, meaning smaller pellets carry the same or better penetration energy while fitting way more of them into the same shell.
Independent testing from Outdoor Life puts the Fiocchi Golden Turkey TSS at the top of the heap for pattern percentage among TSS shotshells. Through a Remington 870, these shells delivered 214 pellets inside a 10-inch circle at 40 yards, hitting 36% pattern density. For reference, that's the best overall percentage they tested across multiple TSS options. Field shooters report tight, consistent patterns that hold together well beyond typical turkey ranges, with one user noting tight patterns out to 60 yards even from a factory choke.
Fiocchi loads these carefully. They use heavy buffering material and secure everything with a plastic cap rather than a crimp, keeping moisture out and ensuring consistent performance round after round. The construction matters because you're counting on this round, and these shells deliver.
With TSS, a #9 pellet hits harder than a traditional lead #5. You get roughly 450+ pellets per ounce compared to around 170 with lead #5 shot. More pellets means denser patterns and more insurance on that critical head-and-neck shot. The smaller pellet size works because tungsten retains energy downrange that lead simply cannot match.
Five rounds per box makes these practical for pattern testing and serious hunting. Pair them with a tight choke for maximum pattern density.
Tungsten is 60% denser than lead, so a #9 TSS pellet carries energy similar to a traditional lead #5 while being smaller. This means more pellets fit in the shell, creating much denser patterns. You get 450+ pellets per ounce versus around 170 with lead #5 shot, giving you better coverage of the vital zone and a wider effective range.
A tight or full choke works best to maximize pattern density. Many shooters get excellent results with factory full chokes, though experimenting with different choke tubes specific to TSS is recommended for your individual shotgun. The better the choke-load match, the tighter the pattern.
These are standard 3-inch 12 gauge shells and will function in any 12 gauge shotgun rated for 3-inch loads. However, pattern results vary by shotgun, barrel, and choke combination. Patterning your specific gun at your intended hunting distance is essential before heading to the field.
Field testing shows these shells deliver lethal patterns and penetration to 60 yards when properly patterned in your gun. Most experienced hunters draw the line around 50 yards for ethical turkey hunting. Always pattern your shotgun to know your effective range before the season.
