Federal Heavyweight TSS Rob Roberts Special Edition Shotshell 12ga 3" 2oz 1100 fps #9 5/ct

Federal Heavyweight TSS Rob Roberts Special Edition shotshells in 12-gauge 3-inch with #9 shot are purpose-built turkey loads developed in partnership with renowned choke designer Rob Roberts. If you're hunting gobblers at distance and want the densest, most forgiving pattern possible, this #9 load maximizes pellet count to pack your killing zone with tungsten shot. Each 5-count box contains shells loaded to 1100 fps with a 2-ounce payload—designed to deliver the consistent, tight patterns Roberts demands from his custom turkey guns.

What sets these loads apart is the HEAVYWEIGHT TSS payload: tungsten-alloy shot at 18 g/cc density, 56 percent denser than lead. That means more pellets in the same payload weight, translating to higher pellet counts downrange where it matters most. The rear-braking FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is engineered to shoot cleanly through both standard and ported turkey chokes, maintaining pattern integrity shot after shot. Advanced buffering material and a full-length wad design protect your barrel from direct contact with the harder shot, reducing wear on your gun.

The #9 shot in this special edition emphasizes pattern density over raw energy per pellet—Roberts' choice for hunters who want maximum coverage and a larger effective killing radius on spring gobblers. The roll crimp and clear card wad keep the buffering material in place through the shot column, ensuring consistent velocities and patterns across your box of five shells.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these Federal Heavyweight TSS #9 shells work in my ported turkey choke?

Yes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is specifically engineered to shoot cleanly through both standard and ported turkey chokes, maintaining consistent deadly patterns regardless of your choke configuration.

What's the advantage of #9 shot over #7 in turkey hunting?

The #9 shot in this Rob Roberts Special Edition load emphasizes maximum pellet count and pattern density. This gives you a denser, more forgiving pattern downrange, increasing your effective killing radius and margin for error on spring gobblers—the trade-off is slightly less energy per individual pellet compared to larger shot sizes.

Why is tungsten TSS shot better than lead for turkey loads?

HEAVYWEIGHT TSS tungsten-alloy shot is 56 percent denser than lead. In the same 2-ounce payload, you get significantly more pellets. More pellets in your pattern means denser coverage and more retained energy at extended range—a critical advantage for long-range turkey hunting.

How many shells are in a box?

Each box contains 5 Federal Heavyweight TSS Rob Roberts Special Edition shotshells.
