Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS Turkey Ammo delivers the dense, consistent patterns serious turkey hunters need to anchor birds at extended range. Built around tungsten super shot pellets engineered to 18 g/cc density—22 percent denser than standard tungsten and 56 percent heavier than lead—this 12 gauge ammunition generates exceptional velocity and energy downrange without sacrificing pattern integrity. The non-toxic construction makes it legal for all hunting scenarios while maintaining the ballistic performance that separates clean kills from frustrating misses.
The real trick to this load is the Flitecontrol Flex wad, which manages patterns with precision through both standard and ported turkey chokes. Federal matched this premium wad design with advanced buffering material and a roll crimp that keeps everything locked in place during the shot. The result is patterns tight enough to matter at distances where conventional loads spread too thin. Full-length wads protect your bore from the extra-hard pellet material, extending barrel life.
What makes Heavyweight TSS stand out in a crowded market is the pellet count: that density advantage translates to more projectiles per shot, which means denser coverage and fewer flyers. You're not just throwing more pellets—you're throwing smarter pellets. Whether you hunt public land where every yard matters or private ground where you demand consistency, this ammunition rewards quality firearms and disciplined shooting.
Federal backs this load with a commitment to conservation: a portion of sales supports the National Wild Turkey Federation. You get the tools to hunt ethically and contribute to the resource at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Federal Heavyweight TSS pattern consistently through my ported turkey choke?
Yes. The Flitecontrol Flex wad is engineered to deliver extremely tight, consistent patterns through both standard and ported turkey chokes, so your load performs reliably with your setup.
Is this ammo legal for turkey hunting in non-toxic zones?
Yes. Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS is non-toxic shot, making it legal for all turkey hunting scenarios and compliant with waterfowl and upland non-toxic regulations.
What's the advantage of the higher pellet density?
The 18 g/cc Heavyweight TSS density is 22 percent denser than standard tungsten and 56 percent denser than lead. This density generates more pellets per shot at higher velocities, creating denser patterns and more energy at extended range—the difference between a confident shot and a risky one at distance.
Will the hard tungsten pellets damage my barrel?
No. Federal's full-length wads prevent direct contact between the extra-hard pellets and the bore, protecting your barrel.
