Carlson's Choke Tubes 38027 TSS Turkey 38027 12 Gauge Turkey Steel

The Carlson's Choke Tubes TSS Turkey 38027 is a 12-gauge choke tube purpose-built for modern tungsten turkey loads. If you're running Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS ammunition or other TSS rounds in shot sizes 7 and 9, this tube is engineered to maximize pattern density and effective range on long-distance gobblers. TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) delivers 22% more density than heavyweight shot and 56% more than traditional lead, which means more pellets downrange and more energy at distance—exactly what serious turkey hunters need when birds are at the edge of effective range.

This choke works with Federal Premium's Flite Control Flex wad system, so you have flexibility in ammunition choice without sacrificing pattern performance. The tube is designed specifically for TSS and smaller steel shot (sizes 7–9); larger steel shot isn't compatible, so stick to the intended ammunition profile. Whether you're hunting pressured turkeys that require longer shots or you simply want the densest, most lethal patterns your shotgun can deliver, the TSS Turkey choke gives you the ballistic advantage to close the deal.

Carlson's reputation for precision choke manufacturing means this tube will fit and function reliably in your 12-gauge for seasons to come. Upgrade your turkey setup with a choke tube that matches the performance of premium TSS ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this choke tube compatible with lead turkey loads?

The TSS Turkey choke is optimized for tungsten TSS ammunition in shot sizes 7 and 9. Always consult your shotgun's manual and ammunition recommendations; this choke is designed around TSS ballistics and wad systems.

What's the difference between TSS and traditional shot?

Tungsten Super Shot is 22% denser than heavyweight shot and 56% denser than lead, meaning more pellets fit in the same payload. That translates to tighter, denser patterns at distance and more retained energy—critical for long-range turkey hunting.

Can I use steel shot larger than #4 in this choke?

No. Steel shot larger than #4 is not compatible with this tube. Stick to TSS or smaller steel in sizes 7 and 9 as designed.

Will this work with Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS ammunition?

Yes. This choke is optimized for Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS loads, including their Flite Control Flex wad system, and also works with other manufacturers' compatible TSS ammunition in the recommended shot sizes.
