Many turkey hunters are making the switch to TSS shotgun loads for turkey hunting. TSS shotgun shells are expensive. Today Jason Cruise, host of Mossberg's Rugged American Hunter series, gives you a quick tip on how to save money when sighting in your turkey gun with TSS ammunition.
# Advantages of TSS Turkey Loads
TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) turkey loads offer significant advantages over traditional lead or steel loads. The primary benefit comes from tungsten's greater density (18 g/cc vs 11 g/cc for lead), allowing for smaller pellets with higher pellet counts per shell. These smaller, denser pellets maintain energy at longer distances while creating denser patterns. With TSS, hunters can effectively extend their effective range by 20+ yards while improving terminal performance. The harder tungsten material also prevents pellet deformation upon firing, ensuring consistent patterns. Though more expensive than lead alternatives, many hunters find the improved performance, higher success rates, and potential for cleaner kills worth the investment.
