Federal PTSSX195F79 Premium Turkey Heavyweight TSS 12 Gauge 3.50" 2 1/2 oz 1000 fps Tungsten 7 9 Shot 5 Bx/50 Cs

Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS is a 12 gauge turkey shotgun shell built for one job: extending your effective range on gobblers. The 3.5" magnum case holds 2.5 ounces of Tungsten Super Shot in a combination of #7 and #9 pellets, leaving the muzzle at 1000 fps. What makes Heavyweight TSS different—and why serious turkey hunters reach for it—is the density of the tungsten alloy itself. At 22 percent denser than standard tungsten and 56 percent denser than lead, these pellets retain energy and velocity far downrange, delivering the pellet counts and hitting power needed when distance separates you from your target.

The real innovation here is the combination of material and wad design. Federal paired the dense tungsten payload with their FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, engineered to produce tight, consistent patterns through both standard and ported turkey chokes. A roll crimp and clear card wad lock the advanced buffering material in place, and full-length wads protect your barrel from direct contact with the extra-hard pellets. That's not just marketing—it's the difference between clean, repeatable patterns and surprises when you need predictability most.

Each box contains 5 rounds, making these a premium investment per shot. They're built for hunters willing to go the distance for trophy gobblers, whether you're working a bird 40 yards out or pushing beyond. A portion of proceeds supports the National Wild Turkey Federation, backing conservation of the birds we hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Heavyweight TSS work through my turkey choke?

Yes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is specifically designed to deliver consistent patterns through both standard turkey chokes and ported chokes, so you don't need to change your setup.

What's the advantage of tungsten over lead shot?

Tungsten is significantly denser than lead—this Heavyweight TSS is 56 percent denser. That density means pellets retain more energy and velocity at distance, giving you tighter, more lethal patterns where it counts on longer-range shots.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 5 rounds.

Is this good for long-range turkey hunting?

Heavyweight TSS is designed specifically for extended-range turkey hunting. The high pellet count and retained velocity make it effective on gobblers at distances where standard loads lose pattern density and power.
