Description
The Remington Premier TSS Turkey brings a modern, high-density option to .410 turkey hunting. These shells load 13/16 ounce of number 9 tungsten shot at 18g/cc density, making them uniquely effective from compact shotguns. The material is about 56 percent denser than lead, meaning a tiny number 9 pellet carries at least as much penetration energy as a much larger lead pellet while fitting significantly more pellets into each shell.
How Premier TSS Tungsten Shot Works Differently
Tungsten doesn't deform like lead or softer materials. When fired, TSS pellets stay perfectly round and retain their shape, which directly translates to more pellets on target and tighter patterns at distance. The 1100 fps muzzle velocity is moderate by design, allowing these dense pellets to be loaded efficiently without excessive chamber pressure. Remington's ballistics engineers tune each load for maximum pattern consistency, and that engineering work shows up in field performance.
.410 Bore as a Turkey Getter
For years, the .410 was considered a marginal turkey gun at best. TSS changes that equation entirely. These shells hold roughly 270 to 295 pellets of number 9 shot depending on the exact loading, which equals the pellet count in many 3-inch 12-gauge turkey loads. A .410 paired with TSS can reliably deliver clean kills at 40 yards with proper patterning, though individual results depend heavily on your gun and choke combination.
Practical Considerations for Field Use
This ammunition works best in fixed-full choke guns or guns set up with extra-full turkey chokes. The hard tungsten requires proper wads and choke designs to perform well, and your results will vary based on your specific shotgun. Plan to pattern these before the season. Each box contains five rounds, which should cover your pattern testing and early season prep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Remington Premier TSS Turkey .410 shells in my fixed full choke shotgun?
Yes, these shells work in fixed full choke .410 shotguns, but your results depend on your specific gun. Remington tuned these loads for pattern consistency, but you should pattern them before hunting to see exactly how they group in your barrel. An extra-full turkey choke will give you even denser patterns if your gun supports interchangeable chokes.
What makes number 9 tungsten effective for turkeys when lead turkeys hunters typically use larger shot?
Tungsten at 18 g/cc density is about 56 percent denser than lead. That means a number 9 tungsten pellet carries as much penetration energy as a much larger lead pellet would. The real advantage is that denser tungsten allows you to fit 270 to 295 pellets into one shell instead of 100 to 150 pellets of larger lead shot, creating a much denser hitting pattern.
How far can I effectively shoot a turkey with Premier TSS .410 shells?
With proper gun setup and patterning, these shells are capable of clean kills at 40 yards. Your actual effective range depends on your shotgun, choke, and shooting accuracy. Some hunters successfully extend beyond 40 yards, but every gun-and-load combination patterns differently. Head to the range with your specific shotgun to establish your true effective distance before the season.
Why does Remington Premier TSS .410 cost more than regular turkey ammunition?
Tungsten is significantly more expensive to produce and source than lead or traditional shot materials. It also requires specialized wads and components to protect your shotgun barrel from the incredibly hard tungsten pellets. Remington engineers also tune each load for maximum pattern consistency, adding to the production cost.
