When the woods go quiet and a longbeard hangs just out of reach, HEVI-18® TSS Turkey 28 Gauge 2-3/4in Shotshells are built to close the gap. This isn’t standard turkey ammunition—it’s a precision-engineered tungsten load designed for hunters who demand extended range, dense patterns, and decisive terminal performance when the moment of truth arrives. Loaded with 9 Shot and delivering a consistent 1200 feet per second muzzle velocity, this 28 gauge load provides the reach and authority needed to confidently take on challenging turkey setups.
At the heart of HEVI-18 TSS is high-density 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot, a material advantage that delivers performance far beyond traditional lead. Compared to standard 11 g/cc lead pellets, TSS carries significantly more energy downrange while allowing hunters to use smaller shot sizes without sacrificing effectiveness. The result is a higher pellet count, tighter patterns, and improved pattern density across extended distances—giving hunters a greater margin of confidence when a gobbler refuses to commit.
Each shell is loaded with a 1-1/16 oz shot charge and features HEVI-Shot’s advanced spherical buffer system, which helps reduce pellet friction and protect pellet shape during ignition and flight. By minimizing pellet deformation, this system promotes more consistent patterns and better downrange performance. The crimp-seal resin helps keep the payload secure, protecting the buffer and maintaining load integrity from storage to the field.
Designed specifically for turkey hunting, HEVI-18 TSS delivers the combination of velocity, density, and pattern efficiency needed for clean, ethical harvests. The tungsten advantage allows hunters to stretch the capabilities of a smaller 28 gauge platform while still achieving the energy and pattern performance typically associated with larger gauges. Whether you’re carrying a lightweight turkey gun through thick cover or fine-tuning a compact setup for run-and-gun hunts, this load gives you a serious performance edge.
With unmatched pellet density, increased downrange energy, and superior pattern potential, HEVI-18 TSS Turkey is built for those critical moments when a wary gobbler hangs up and every pellet counts.
