Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS Turkey Ammunition 20 Gauge 3" 1-5/8 oz Non-Toxic Tungsten Super Shot Flitecontrol Flex Wad

Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS is a purpose-built 20-gauge turkey load designed for hunters who want to extend their effective range beyond what traditional shotgun ammunition allows. The 3-inch shells load 1-5/8 ounces of Tungsten Super Shot in densities significantly heavier than standard tungsten, delivering substantially higher pellet counts and retained energy downrange. If you're serious about consistent, long-distance turkey hunting with a 20-gauge, this is the non-toxic option engineered to deliver.

The real advantage here is the density and ballistics. Tungsten Super Shot material runs 22 percent denser than standard tungsten and 56 percent denser than lead, which means the pellets arrive at distance with more velocity and energy than conventional loads. That density-to-pellet ratio translates directly to tighter, more lethal patterns on game at ranges where other ammo starts to thin out. For hunters who prize ethical, clean shots over lucky long-range attempts, that consistency matters.

The Flitecontrol Flex wad is the other half of the equation. Designed with a rear-braking design, it keeps patterns tight and consistent whether you're shooting through a standard turkey choke or a ported one. A full-length wad also protects your barrel by preventing the extra-hard tungsten pellets from direct contact with the bore—a practical safeguard when you're running premium, expensive ammunition. The roll crimp and clear card wad keep buffering material in place through the shot string.

Federal packages these in 5-count boxes, so you're getting quality over bulk. Available in #7 and #9 shot sizes, allowing you to dial in the pattern density you prefer for your gun and hunting situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Federal Heavyweight TSS pattern through my ported turkey choke?

Yes. The Flitecontrol Flex wad is specifically designed to deliver consistent patterns through both standard and ported turkey chokes, so you don't need to switch equipment or worry about erratic shot strings.

What's the advantage of tungsten shot over lead in turkey loads?

Tungsten Super Shot is significantly denser than lead—56 percent heavier by volume—which means you get more pellets in the same payload weight, higher velocities downrange, and better energy retention at distance. That translates to tighter, more lethal patterns and ethical shots at extended ranges.

Is this ammo non-toxic for waterfowl hunting?

Yes, Heavyweight TSS uses non-toxic Tungsten Super Shot, making it compliant with non-toxic shot regulations.

What shot size should I choose, #7 or #9?

Shot size selection depends on your gun, choke, and hunting situation. #7 shot offers larger pellets with more individual energy, while #9 shot delivers higher pellet counts for denser patterns. Pattern-testing at your expected hunting range is the best way to determine which works best with your specific setup.
