Federal PTSSX191F7 Premium Turkey Heavyweight TSS 12 Gauge 3.50" 2 1/4 oz 1200 fps Tungsten 7 Shot 5 Bx/50 Cs

Federal Premium Turkey Heavyweight TSS is purpose-built ammunition designed to extend your effective range and deliver reliable, devastating patterns when hunting turkeys with a 12-gauge shotgun. This 3.5-inch magnum load pairs a dense 2 1/4 oz tungsten payload with Federal's FLITECONTROL FLEX wad system, giving you the density and pellet count needed to anchor gobblers at distances where conventional lead loads run out of steam. At 1200 fps, these #7 pellets maintain energy downrange better than heavier tungsten densities, making them a smart choice for hunters who want penetration without sacrificing pattern consistency.

The real advantage here is payload density. Federal's tungsten-alloy material is significantly denser than standard tungsten and substantially heavier than lead—which means you get dramatically more pellets in the same payload weight. More pellets equal better pattern fill, tighter clustering, and more reliable vital-area coverage at extended range. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad has been specifically engineered to deliver consistent, tight patterns whether you're shooting through standard turkey chokes or ported barrels, so you can trust your gun's setup without guessing. A roll crimp, clear card wad, and full-length construction keep the buffering material contained and prevent the hard pellets from contacting your bore directly—protecting your barrel while maximizing pattern performance.

This is ammunition for serious turkey hunters willing to invest in premium components to close the distance gap. Five rounds per box means you've got enough for a morning hunt or range testing to confirm your gun's zero and pattern density. Federal backs this line with a commitment to conservation: a portion of proceeds from Heavyweight TSS sales support the National Wild Turkey Federation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Federal Heavyweight TSS better than standard lead turkey loads?

Tungsten-alloy is significantly denser than lead—56% heavier—which means you pack more pellets into the same 2 1/4 oz payload. More pellets means better pattern density and more reliable vital-area coverage at distance. Tungsten also retains energy better downrange, extending your effective hunting distance.

Will these shells work reliably through ported turkey chokes?

Yes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad has been engineered specifically to deliver consistent patterns through both standard and ported turkey chokes, so your gun's setup won't be a limiting factor.

How many pellets does a 2 1/4 oz Heavyweight TSS load contain compared to lead?

Federal indicates the tungsten payload provides as much as twice the pellet count of an equivalent-weight lead No. 5 load, though exact counts depend on pellet size and comparison standard.

What's included in the box?

Five individual shotshells loaded with tungsten #7 shot.
