.410 shotgun shells with TSS

Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS shotgun shells are designed to maximize pellet counts while shooting at extreme ranges. TSS is a tungsten alloy material that has a density of 18gm/cc. This is 56 percent more than lead. TSS shells offer a superior choice for turkey shotguns due to their high muzzle velocity as well as higher energy density.

Federal Premium engineers created new tungsten-shotgunshells with TSS. They use tiny TSS pellets that are embedded into the rims of the.410 bore. This resulted in a load of 3 inches.410 containing 13/16 ounces No. 9 shot. The TSS shotshells have a full-length wad to prevent contact with the barrel. The shotshell's tungsten is less susceptible to splitting and can maintain its form for long shots.
