Federal Ptssx289F9 Premium Tss 28Gauge 2" 1 1/4Oz 9Shot 5 Per Box/10 Case
Federal Premium TSS 28-gauge shotshell ammunition delivers tungsten-based turkey loads engineered for long-range pattern performance and knockdown power on gobblers. Each 2" shell packs 1 1/4 oz of Heavyweight Tungsten Super Shot—specifically formulated with a density 22 percent higher than standard tungsten and 56 percent denser than lead—giving you more pellets downrange and sustained energy at distance. This is serious turkey medicine for dedicated upland and spring hunters who demand consistent, devastating patterns.
The engineering behind Heavyweight TSS centers on density and consistency. More mass per pellet means flatter trajectory and harder impact, while the extreme pellet count maximizes your odds on a moving target. Federal backs this performance with FLITECONTROL FLEX wad technology that delivers tight, repeatable patterns through both standard and ported turkey chokes. The rear-braking design stabilizes the shot string, and the full-length wad keeps the extra-hard tungsten pellets away from barrel contact—critical when you're running premium ammunition through quality shotguns that cost real money.
Packaging includes a roll crimp and clear card wad to secure the buffering material, ensuring every round performs identically from shot to shot. Each box contains 5 rounds, with 10 boxes per case for hunters stocking up for the season. Federal also donates a portion of proceeds from this line to the National Wild Turkey Federation, so your ammunition purchase supports habitat and conservation work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What chokes work best with Federal Premium TSS 28-gauge loads?
The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad delivers consistent patterns through both standard and ported turkey chokes, so you have flexibility in your choke selection without sacrificing performance.
Why is Heavyweight TSS better for long-range turkey hunting than lead or standard tungsten?
Heavyweight TSS is 22 percent denser than standard tungsten and 56 percent denser than lead. This higher density means more mass per pellet, which translates to flatter trajectory, sustained energy downrange, and a denser pattern—all critical for connecting on gobblers at extended distances.
How is the ammunition packaged and what's included in a case?
Each box contains 5 rounds of 28-gauge ammunition. A full case includes 10 boxes (50 rounds total). The shells feature a roll crimp and clear card wad to keep the buffering material secure for uniform shot-to-shot performance.
Will these tungsten loads damage my shotgun barrel?
Federal designed the full-length wad to prevent direct contact between the extra-hard tungsten pellets and the bore, protecting your barrel from the harder material while maintaining pattern integrity.
