Federal Heavyweight TSS Rob Roberts Special Edition Shotshell 20ga 3" 1-5/8oz 1000 fps #9 5/ct

Federal's Heavyweight TSS Rob Roberts Special Edition 20-gauge shotshell brings turkey-hunting precision to the 3-inch platform in the #9 shot size—a load engineered by the man whose chokes have defined modern turkey patterns. Rob Roberts collaborated directly with Federal to create this limited-edition ammunition, and the #9 shot version prioritizes maximum pellet density and pattern concentration at range. If you're running a 20-gauge for turkey hunting and want the densest possible pattern, this is what Roberts himself specified for it.

The core of these loads is Federal's Heavyweight TSS payload—18 grams per cubic centimeter of tungsten-alloy shot that runs 56 percent denser than lead. Denser shot means more pellets in the same hull, more pellets in your pattern at distance, and more energy when they arrive. A 1-5/8 ounce #9 load delivers the kind of pattern concentration turkey hunters chase, especially through the tighter chokes a 20-gauge demands. The velocity is a measured 1000 fps—no velocity gimmicks here, just consistent, predictable ballistics.

The wad system is equally purposeful: Federal's FLITECONTROL FLEX rear-braking design was built to handle both standard and ported turkey chokes without hiccups. Full-length wads isolate the hardened TSS pellets from direct barrel contact, protecting your gun from shot-hardness damage. Buffering material is held in place by a roll crimp and clear card wad, keeping the payload stable all the way down the bore and into the pattern.

Expect tight, consistent patterns and the pellet count advantage that made TSS ammunition the go-to for serious turkey hunters. This is a load built on Roberts' actual hunting priorities, not marketing hype—limited-edition ammunition for a specific job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this load pattern well through my ported turkey choke?

Yes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is designed to perform through both ported and standard turkey chokes without consistency issues, delivering the tight patterns this load is built for.

Why is #9 shot better than #7 for turkey hunting?

The #9 shot in this Special Edition maximizes pellet count and pattern density—more small pellets in a tighter concentration at distance. #7 shot (also available in this line) trades some pellet count for slightly more individual energy. Your choice depends on your choke, range preferences, and hunting conditions; Roberts offers both because each has its place.

Is this load safe for my 20-gauge shotgun?

This is a 3-inch 20-gauge load. Always verify your shotgun is marked for 3-inch shells before use. If you're unsure of your gun's chamber length, check the barrel markings or consult your shotgun's documentation.
