Browning TSS Turkey Ammo 12 Gauge 3" 1 3/4 oz 1200 fps #7 Shot - 5 Rounds/Box

Browning TSS Turkey Ammo in 12 gauge 3" brings tungsten-based shot to the turkey woods with ballistics engineered for long-range effectiveness. This #7 shot load pairs the extreme density of tungsten super shot (TSS) with a 1 3/4 oz payload traveling at 1200 fps, delivering the kind of energy retention that matters when your target is 60+ yards downrange. If you've hunted turkeys with traditional lead loads and felt limited by range or pattern degradation, TSS ammo represents a genuine step forward in how far you can ethically extend your effective shooting distance.

The real advantage of tungsten lies in physics: TSS is nearly 60% denser than lead, which means each pellet retains velocity and energy far beyond what lead of the same size can manage. In a #7 shot turkey load, that density translates to deeper penetration and harder hits on vital zones. The buffered payload design helps shot move cleanly through turkey chokes, reducing deformation and supporting the tight, consistent patterns you need for confident 50+ yard work.

Browning loads this ammunition in boxes of 5 rounds, which fits the typical pre-season patterning workflow and opening-day carry. TSS ammo carries a premium compared to lead loads—that's the trade for ballistic performance and the ability to hunt turkey season with confidence at distances where lead patterns scatter into unreliability. If your hunting territory demands reach, or if you simply want the best tool available for modern turkey hunting, TSS is worth the investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes TSS turkey ammo better than lead shot for long-range turkey hunting?

Tungsten Super Shot is nearly 60% denser than lead, allowing each pellet to retain velocity and energy farther downrange. That density means tighter patterns and harder-hitting pellets at extended distances—turkeys at 60+ yards that would see lead patterns scatter and lose effectiveness still receive reliable hits from TSS loads.

Will this Browning TSS ammo work in my turkey shotgun with standard turkey chokes?

Yes. The buffered payload in this load is designed to flow cleanly through turkey choke tubes, supporting tight and consistent patterns. Always pattern your specific gun and choke combination before hunting to verify your effective range and shot placement.

Why is #7 shot used instead of #5 for TSS turkey loads?

#7 shot delivers a higher pellet count per ounce than #5, increasing the number of pellets available to strike vital zones. Paired with TSS's density, #7 provides both deep penetration and improved hit probability at distance.

What does the buffered payload do in turkey ammunition?

The buffer material reduces deformation as shot travels through the barrel and choke, helping pellets maintain their shape and energy. This produces the tighter, more consistent patterns essential for ethical turkey hunting at extended ranges.
