Fiocchi 123TSS9 Golden Turkey TSS 12 Gauge 3" 1 5/8 oz 9 Shot 5 Per Box/ 10 Cs

The Fiocchi Golden Turkey TSS 12 Gauge 3" 1-5/8 oz #9 Shot is a tungsten-based turkey hunting round engineered for the serious upland and spring gobbler hunter. This is premium ammunition built around the denser ballistics of tungsten shot—18 g/cc material that delivers the hard-hitting patterns turkey hunters depend on when the moment matters. Whether you're working a distant tom in open country or threading shots through timber, these rounds are built to perform where it counts.

Tungsten shot offers a real advantage over lead or steel: it's significantly denser, which means tighter, more consistent patterns downrange and energy that doesn't fade at extended ranges. Fiocchi has engineered the Golden Turkey TSS specifically around that material advantage, pairing tungsten shot with a shotshell design meant to keep those pellets organized all the way to your target. The #9 shot size is the backbone of modern turkey hunting—small enough for clean, dense patterns, large enough to carry the energy turkeys demand.

At 1-5/8 oz of shot in a 3-inch hull, this load sits in the sweet spot for 12-gauge turkey guns: enough payload to generate confidence in the field without the excess recoil of bigger 3.5-inch magnums. A five-round box isn't warehouse ammo—it's built for hunters who plan their season and prepare their shots. If you run a reliable 12-gauge turkey gun and you're serious about pattern consistency and long-range performance, Fiocchi Golden Turkey TSS ammunition warrants a serious look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What 12-gauge shotguns can fire 3-inch shells?

Any 12-gauge shotgun rated for 3-inch or 3.5-inch chambers will safely fire this ammunition. Check your owner's manual or the barrel marking to confirm your gun's chamber length before loading.

Why use tungsten shot for turkey hunting?

Tungsten is significantly denser than lead or steel, which means each pellet retains energy longer and produces tighter, more consistent patterns at distance. That density translates to more reliable, cleaner kills on turkeys when ranges stretch beyond typical shotgun distances.

Is #9 shot the right choice for turkeys?

Yes. #9 is the industry standard for modern turkey hunting because it balances pattern density with adequate pellet energy. Smaller shot sizes create denser patterns; larger sizes don't pack as tight. #9 hits the middle ground that works across most realistic turkey hunting ranges and guns.

How many rounds should I buy for a turkey season?

That depends on how much you hunt and practice. A five-round box is typically a working load—patterning a couple rounds through your gun, then carrying a handful afield. Many hunters buy multiple boxes to test patterns with their specific barrel and choke.
