Frequently Asked Questions
Why use #7 TSS shot for turkey hunting instead of larger pellet sizes?
Because HEVI-18 tungsten is so much denser than lead (18 g/cc vs. 11 g/cc), smaller pellets like #7 retain energy and penetrate deeply enough to be lethal on turkeys at ethical hunting ranges. You also get a significantly higher pellet count per ounce compared to larger shot sizes, which translates to denser, more consistent patterns — critical for clean, humane kills in the head and neck zone.
What firearms are compatible with HEVI-Shot TSS .410 3" shells?
These shells are compatible with any .410 bore shotgun rated for 3" shells, including break-action single-shots, over-unders, pump-actions, and semi-automatics chambered in .410. Always verify your firearm's chamber length before shooting — do not use 3" shells in a gun chambered for 2.5" only. For best patterning results, pairing with a dedicated turkey choke designed for TSS or tungsten shot is strongly recommended.
What effective range can I expect from this .410 TSS turkey load?
Thanks to the extreme density of HEVI-18 tungsten shot, this load is effective on turkeys out to approximately 40–50 yards when used with an appropriate turkey choke. Pattern your specific gun and choke combination before the season to confirm consistent, lethal pellet density at your intended shooting distances. Performance will vary based on choke selection, barrel length, and individual firearm characteristics.
