HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 Turkey TSS 28 Gauge 3" 1 1/4 oz Tungsten #7 Shot - 5 Rounds per Box

The HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 Turkey TSS 28 gauge 3" shotshell delivers serious downrange performance in a smaller bore package. Built around 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot (TSS), these loads pack significantly higher pellet counts than traditional lead, letting you tighten patterns and extend effective range on turkeys without stepping up to a larger gauge. At 1200 fps muzzle velocity, the 1 1/4 oz payload of #7 shot offers the density advantage you need when every pellet counts—especially on birds that have already figured out what buckshot looks like.

HEVI-18 TSS is 48% denser than lead, which means you're moving down three shot sizes worth of energy without moving up in bore. That density translates to flatter trajectories and retained energy at 40+ yards, the ranges where turkey loads often fail. The spherical buffer design locks pellets in place and minimizes deformation, so you get the tight, consistent patterns that separate clean harvests from frustrating misses. For hunters running 28 gauge turkey guns—whether for recoil sensitivity, upland heritage, or just preference—this is the ammunition that closes the gap with heavier 12 gauge loads.

Each box contains 5 rounds, so you're getting enough shells for a serious day afield or pattern-testing session at the range. If you've been reluctant to trust a 28 on gobblers, HEVI-18 TSS is the reason to reconsider.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes HEVI-18 TSS better than lead shot for turkey hunting?

HEVI-18 is 48% denser than lead, which means the same payload delivers superior downrange energy and penetration. That density advantage allows you to use smaller shot sizes—here, #7—while maintaining the lethal performance of much larger lead shot. Result: tighter patterns, more pellets in the vital zone, and reliable harvests at extended ranges.

Will these 28 gauge loads work in my turkey shotgun?

These are standard 3" 28 gauge shells. They will chamber in any 28 gauge shotgun rated for 3" shells. Always verify your gun's chamber length (marked on the barrel) before loading—do not use 3" shells in a 2 3/4" chamber.

What's included in a box of HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 Turkey TSS?

Each box contains 5 loaded rounds, ready to shoot.

How do HEVI-18 patterns compare to standard turkey loads?

HEVI-18 delivers significantly tighter patterns than traditional lead or cheaper tungsten loads, thanks to the high density of the 18 g/cc material and the spherical buffer design that protects pellets from deformation. Tighter patterns mean more pellets stay in a 10-inch circle at distance, improving your margin for error on wary birds. Pattern testing at your effective hunting range is always recommended.
