The HEVI-18 TSS Turkey line brought ultra-dense tungsten ammunition to the 28-gauge market, and it changed the game for hunters who wanted genuine sub-gauge capability. Loaded with high-density 18 g/cc pellets, these rounds deliver the kind of performance that used to require a full-sized 12 or 20 gauge. The 3-inch shell holds 1-1/4 ounces of #7 shot at 1200 fps, producing the combination of pellet count and downrange energy that modern turkey hunting demands.
Density is everything in turkey ammunition, and at 18 g/cc, TSS tungsten is significantly heavier than lead or traditional alternatives. This allows the load to use smaller pellets while maintaining lethal penetration and energy downrange. The number 7 shot size gives you more pellets per ounce than larger sizes, creating a denser pattern that puts more projectiles in the kill zone. HEVI-Shot's friction-reducing spherical buffer keeps pellets round and uniform as they accelerate, which translates to tighter patterns at 40 yards and beyond.
For years, hunters avoided the 28 gauge for turkey work. That's changed. Modern tungsten loads have made the 28 a legitimate choice, and paired with TSS you get roughly comparable performance to a 20-gauge lead load in a gun that's lighter and easier to carry all day. Pattern testing shows the HEVI-18 delivers tight clusters out to 40 yards, and hunters who've taken turkeys with these shells report confidence at ranges where they'd hesitate with traditional ammunition. You're getting reduced recoil without sacrificing lethality, which matters during a long day of calling.
Each box contains 5 rounds of factory-loaded HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammunition. These shells are designed specifically for modern turkey hunting from a modern shotgun. You'll want to pattern your specific gun and choke combination before opening day—every gun shoots slightly different patterns with every load, and knowing your effective range is worth the couple of rounds spent at the range.
These are standard 3-inch shells, so you need a 28-gauge shotgun with a 3-inch chamber. Always check your gun's chamber before purchasing. Also keep in mind that HEVI-18 TSS uses hardened tungsten pellets—if your shotgun was manufactured before the 1980s, talk to a gunsmith first because older barrels may not be designed for tungsten's hardness.
The 28-gauge HEVI-18 delivers comparable performance to traditional 20-gauge loads while weighing less and producing less recoil. At 40 yards with the right choke, pattern density is solid and lethal. You're trading some payload weight for significant reduction in gun weight and recoil, making it easier to carry and shoot accurately during a long day in the field.
A dedicated turkey choke will give you the best patterns, but these shells will work with full chokes and quality turkey chokes from various manufacturers. Pattern your specific gun and choke combination at 20, 30, and 40 yards before the season to know exactly what you're capable of.
TSS tungsten is 48% denser than lead, which means more pellets fit into the same shell weight while maintaining lethal penetration. These #7 pellets retain velocity and energy better downrange than larger lead pellets, creating denser patterns and extending effective range compared to traditional ammunition.
