Here’s a look at the newest turkey and upland loads from the innovators at Federal.
Federal Expands HEAVYWEIGHT TSS Options. Turkeys beware. Federal has stretched the deadly reach of its popular and proven HEAVYWEIGHT TSS, with a new 2-ounce 12-gauge (3-inch) load of mixed No. 7 and 9 shot ($67.99/5). The tungsten-alloy material’s 18 g/cc density is 22 percent higher than standard tungsten and 56 percent more than lead, and these new loads offer more than double the pellet count of lead No. 5 loads of the same weight. The result is the most energy and highest velocities at extreme range. The loads’ rear-braking FliteControl FLEX wad is designed to perform flawlessly through ported and standard turkey chokes for the most consistent, deadly patterns possible. A portion of the proceeds are donated to the National Wild Turkey Federation.Federal Custom Shop Rob Roberts Special Edition TSS Turkey Loads. Looking for the best premium turkey loads available? Patterns, precision and personalization all come together in two new turkey options from Federal Custom Shop. Federal collaborated with legendary choke tube designer Rob Roberts Custom Gunworks, to deliver optimal pattern density and downrange energy from the No. 9 Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) payloads. The 20-gauge option ($119.99/10) is loaded with 1 3/4 ounce—approximately 634 pellets—and the 2-ounce 12-gauge load ($139.99/10) tallies a pellet count of 725.
TSS payloads offer more than double the pellet count of lead No. 5 loads of the same weight; TSS is 22-percent denser than standard tungsten, and 56 percent denser than lead. Like all Federal Custom Shop ammunition, the new loads are handcrafted to order by Federal’s team of experts, not pulled out of inventory in a warehouse, for quality that’s simply unmatched.
Federal Upland Steel 1-Ounce Payloads. Make your days in the dove fields even better with new 1-ounce Federal Upland Steel offerings ($12.99/25). High velocities powered by clean-burning propellant and Federal primers maximize the patterns and power of the steel payload, with the reliable performance you’ve come to expect from Federal.
