Gear & Gadgets: New Heavyweight TSS .410 turkey loads from Federal, and much more

Heavyweight TSS from Federal is now available in a new No. 7, .410 offering.

Kill gobblers at longer distances than ever before with Federal Premium ® HEAVYWEIGHT ® TSS. The tungsten-alloy shot material’s 18 g/cc density is 56 percent more than lead, resulting in the highest pellet counts and the most energy at extreme range.

Its rear-braking FLITECONTROL FLEX ® wad performs flawlessly through ported and standard turkey chokes for consistent, deadly patterns.

Heavyweight TSS is now available in a new No. 7, .410 offering. Heavyweight TSS payload is manufactured with advanced buffering material, extremely high pellet counts, its roll crimp and clear card wad keeps buffering material in place, while full-length wads prevent direct contact of the extra-hard pellets and the bore.

The .410 loads do not feature FLITECONTROL FLEX wad and a portion of the sale proceeds are donated to the National Wild Turkey Federation.

HEVI-18 TSS TURKEY LOADS FROM HEVI-SHOT

HEVI-Shot, HEVI-18 Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, are packed with TSS 18 g/cc density pellets for long-range performance and high pellet count. Hevi-18 TSS Turkey are offered in No. 7 and No. 9 shot sizes for 12 and 20 gauge and .410 bore shotguns.

TSS shot is an excellent option for turkey hunters. A great benefit of this load is that hunters have an extremely effective .410 option without sacrificing performance. This allows hunters of all ages and sizes to be able to carry a smaller shotgun without having to second guess the shotshell payload or penetrating power.

HEVI-18 TSS features an ultra-high pellet density of 18 grams per cubic centimeter, is 56 percent denser than lead, and is harder than steel. The increased pellet density results in an extended lethal range of the payload. For all-weather reliability in semi-automatic shotguns, the shotshells feature a thicker base-wad, hotter primer, and clean-burning propellants.

HEVI-18 TSS Turkey is available in two 3-inch and 3-1/2-inch 12-gauge options. All 12-gauge options feature a 1,250 feet per-second (FPS) velocity. Two 3-inch 20-gauge options are available in No. 7 or No. 9 shot size, and for those that prefer a .410 bore, a No. 7 and No. 9 shot size will be available in a 3-inch shotshell with a 13/16-ounce charge weight and FPS velocity of 1,090.
