Federal Heavyweight TSS Rob Roberts Special Edition Shotshell 20ga 3" 1-5/8oz 1000 fps #7 5/ct

Federal Heavyweight TSS Rob Roberts Special Edition 20-gauge shotshells bring world-class turkey-hunting ammunition to the smaller gauge. Designed in collaboration with legendary choke engineer Rob Roberts, these 3-inch loads pack 1-5/8 ounces of tungsten-supershot (TSS) at 1000 fps—delivering the pellet density, pattern consistency, and long-range energy that serious turkey hunters demand from a 20-gauge. The #7 shot size represents Roberts' personal choice for the sweet spot between pattern tightness and downrange lethality, ideal for hunters who want to flatten gobblers at extended ranges without sacrificing the handling and recoil advantage of the smaller bore.

What sets these loads apart is the physics beneath the payload. Federal's HEAVYWEIGHT TSS uses 18 g/cc tungsten-alloy shot that's 56 percent denser than lead, which means more pellets in the same 1-5/8-ounce payload and substantially more energy retention at distance. That density advantage translates directly to denser, more consistent patterns and hit probability where it counts. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad system is engineered to perform reliably through both standard and ported turkey chokes, eliminating the guesswork of pattern testing across different equipment. Full-length wads keep the hard TSS pellets from direct bore contact, protecting your barrel and maintaining shot consistency load to load.

These are limited-edition rounds made with Federal's premium components and quality control—not commodity ammunition. The roll crimp and clear card wad design keeps the advanced buffering material secure throughout the shot string. If you're running a 20-gauge and want the same pattern efficiency and downrange authority that have made TSS the go-to choice for serious turkey hunters, the Rob Roberts Special Edition delivers it without the recoil penalty of a 12-gauge. Pack of five shells.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Federal Heavyweight TSS work through my ported turkey choke?

Yes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is specifically designed to perform reliably through both standard and ported turkey chokes, so you don't need to worry about compatibility issues across different setups.

Why is #7 shot the right choice for 20-gauge turkey hunting?

Federal and Rob Roberts engineered the #7 payload in this load to strike the balance between pattern density and downrange energy. It delivers the pellet count and consistency to place lethal hits on turkeys at extended ranges while maintaining the efficiency and recoil advantage of the 20-gauge platform.

How does tungsten-alloy shot compare to lead in these shells?

The HEAVYWEIGHT TSS uses 18 g/cc tungsten-alloy that is 56 percent denser than lead. That means the same 1-5/8-ounce payload carries significantly more pellets and retains substantially more energy at distance, resulting in denser patterns and better long-range lethality.

Will these heavy TSS pellets damage my barrel?

No. Federal's full-length wad design keeps the hard tungsten-alloy pellets from making direct contact with the bore, protecting your barrel from the extra hardness of TSS shot.
