Federal Heavyweight TSS 20 gauge 2¾" #9 shot ammunition delivers the patterns and penetration serious turkey and upland hunters demand in a compact, recoil-manageable platform. Purpose-built for 20-gauge shotguns, this load combines Federal's reputation for consistency with TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) technology—a premium density alternative that patterns tighter and flies flatter than traditional lead. Whether you're working brush for grouse and woodcock or calling turkeys across open country, this ammunition offers the ballistic advantage that separates successful seasons from forgettable ones.
The 7/9 combination shot column—larger #7 pellets in the front, tighter-patterning #9 shot behind—creates a dual-density load engineered for extended range and reliable knock-down. Federal's Heavyweight TSS is approximately 22% denser than lead, meaning each pellet retains velocity and energy downrange; you'll see measurable velocity retention at 40-plus yards compared to conventional ammunition. The 1⅛-ounce payload in a 2¾" hull keeps recoil moderate while maximizing shot count, critical for hunters who need follow-up accuracy or prefer lighter-kicking shotguns. This ammunition is loaded to industry standard pressures and performs reliably across modern 20-gauge firearms.
Hunters pursuing fast-flush upland game and long-range turkey applications benefit most from Federal Heavyweight TSS's tighter patterns and reduced pellet drop. The 2¾" chamber spec fits standard 20-gauge shotguns; verify your gun's chamber marking before purchase. This ammunition is sold in a 5-round box—ideal for reload scenarios or testing before committing to a full case. Serious wingshooters and turkey hunters who've transitioned to TSS consistently report tighter 30-yard patterns, cleaner kills on distant birds, and confidence in their shot placement that standard lead simply cannot match.
