Hevi 18 Tss Turkey 12ga 3in #9 5/50

The Hevi 18 TSS Turkey 12ga 3in #9 shot is a premium turkey hunting load engineered for lethal pattern density and extended effective range. This ammunition pairs Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets with a 12-gauge 3-inch magnum chamber, delivering shot string that maintains energy far beyond traditional lead or bismuth loads. The #9 pellet size concentrates impact force on vital areas while the 5-round box format provides flexibility for hunters who want proven loads without overcommitting inventory.

TSS pellets are approximately 56% denser than lead, meaning each #9 pellet carries significantly more kinetic energy downrange. At comparable velocities, TSS delivers tighter, denser patterns than traditional turkey loads, translating to cleaner kills at 50+ yards. The 3-inch magnum capacity allows payload optimization without excessive recoil compared to 3.5-inch loads. This ammunition is designed for 12-gauge shotguns chambered in 3-inch or 3.5-inch magnums; users should verify their firearm's chamber specification before use.

This load targets serious turkey hunters pursuing both spring gobblers and fall birds in open timber or semi-open terrain. Hunters who shoot beyond 40 yards benefit most from TSS's superior pellet retention and pattern density. The #9 shot size suits head-and-neck target zones on turkeys, offering the balance between pattern density and individual pellet energy that experienced hunters prioritize. Turkey hunters who have transitioned from lead loads to TSS often report more consistent one-shot kills and reduced wounding losses, particularly on long-range presentations.
