HEVI-SHOT HEVI-18 TSS Turkey 12GA 3.5in #7 Shot

Description

The HEVI-18 TSS line brings serious performance to turkey hunting with 18 grams per cubic centimeter tungsten pellets that hit harder and pattern tighter than anything else available. This isn't just marketing talk either. Independent testing shows TSS loads place literally three times the number of pellets in the vital zone at distance compared to conventional turkey loads, which translates to more reliable kills and more forgiveness if your range judgment or shot placement isn't perfect.

What Makes HEVI-18 TSS Stand Out

The combination of ultra-dense tungsten and HEVI-SHOT's friction-free spherical buffer creates incredibly tight patterns while maintaining devastating downrange energy. That 2 1/4 ounce payload of #7 shot moves at 1250 fps and stays lethal way beyond where traditional lead would start losing effectiveness. Because the tungsten is so dense, these smaller #7 pellets carry the same stopping power as much larger lead pellets, which means you get way more of them in each shell. The #7 shot size hits the sweet spot between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making this load adaptable to most turkey hunting scenarios.

Construction for Field Reliability

Each shell uses a unique crimp-seal resin that resists damage during handling and storage, keeping that spherical buffer sealed inside where it belongs. The thicker base wad, hotter primer, and clean-burning propellants make these rounds reliable in all-weather conditions, even in semi-automatic shotguns. HEVI-SHOT engineered these shells to perform when it matters, not just on the pattern board. Five rounds per box keeps your vest lightweight while giving you enough shells to pattern your setup and handle a season.

Extended Range Capability

Where HEVI-18 really separates itself is effective range. The density advantage lets you take confident shots at turkeys that would be stretching it with lead, potentially adding 15-20 yards to your practical shooting distance. That matters when a gobbler hangs up just outside your decoys or when miscalculating distance in the heat of the moment. The tighter patterns also give newer turkey hunters a genuine margin for error that can mean the difference between tagging out or going home empty.
