Federal Ptssx285F9 Premium Tss 28Gauge 3" 1 5/8Oz 9Shot 5 Per Bx

Federal Premium TSS 28-gauge shotgun ammunition delivers tungsten-alloy pellets engineered for turkey hunting at extended range. This 3-inch, 1 5/8-ounce load fires nine pellets per shot using HEAVYWEIGHT Tungsten Super Shot—a material 22 percent denser than standard tungsten and 56 percent denser than lead. That density translates to retained velocity and energy downrange, so you can take confident shots at distances that would be risky with traditional ammunition.

The 28-gauge is a refined choice for hunters who value precision over raw payload volume. This Federal load pairs its dense pellet mass with FLITECONTROL FLEX wad technology, designed to produce consistent, tight patterns through both standard and ported turkey chokes. The wad features rear braking to stabilize the pellet column in flight, while full-length construction keeps the hard tungsten pellets separated from your barrel—a real advantage when you're shooting specialty loads repeatedly.

Each box contains five rounds, so you're getting a concentrated offering built for serious turkey pursuit. The roll crimp and clear card wad hold the buffering material in place throughout the shot, ensuring pattern integrity when it counts. Federal backs a portion of proceeds with a donation to the National Wild Turkey Federation, supporting the resource you hunt.
