HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 Turkey TSS 12 Gauge 3" 2 oz 1250 fps Tungsten #7 Shot - Box of 5

HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 Turkey TSS 12 gauge shells are engineered for turkey hunters who demand superior range and knockdown power. This tungsten super shot (TSS) load delivers 2 oz of #7 pellets at 1250 fps, combining extreme density with tight patterns that let you confidently take longer shots. Tungsten's 18 g/cc density far exceeds lead's 11 g/cc, meaning each pellet carries more energy downrange—critical when you need ethical, reliable turkey harvests at extended distances.

What sets HEVI-18 apart is engineering focused on pattern consistency. The friction-free spherical buffer minimizes pellet deformation in the bore, while a crimp-seal resin protects the load and keeps that buffer locked in place through rough handling and adverse conditions. The 3" magnum hull, thicker base-wad, and hotter primer are matched to clean-burning powders that cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns, even in cold and wet weather when reliability matters most.

If you hunt turkeys and have settled on the 12 gauge platform, HEVI-18 TSS represents a genuine step up in terminal performance and pattern predictability. The #7 shot size offers a proven balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy—you get enough pellets in your pattern for consistent hits, but each one hits hard enough to anchor a bird. Load five rounds per box, and you've got what you need for a serious hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shot size is this, and when would I choose #7 for turkey hunting?

This load features #7 tungsten pellets. The #7 size delivers a good balance of pellet count for pattern density and individual pellet mass for energy. It's a time-tested choice for turkey hunting at ranges where you want sufficient hits but don't sacrifice per-pellet knockdown.

Will HEVI-18 work in my semi-automatic shotgun?

Yes. The load is designed with semi-auto cycling in mind—the thicker base-wad, hotter primer, and clean-burning powders are engineered to function reliably in gas and inertia-operated shotguns across varying weather conditions.

Why is tungsten better than lead for turkey shells?

Tungsten at 18 g/cc is significantly denser than lead at 11 g/cc. That extra density means smaller pellets can carry the same energy, or the same size pellet carries more energy downrange. For turkeys, that translates to harder hits and better lethality at extended range.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 5 rounds of loaded 3" 12 gauge ammunition.
