HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend TSS 28ga 3in – Deadly Turkey Shotshells

Description

The HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend TSS 28ga 3in shell, item HS28567, is a 28 gauge, 3 inch turkey load with 1 1/4 oz of #5, #6 and #7 tungsten shot. It comes 5 rounds per box from HEVI-Shot, the Oregon maker known for dense, non-toxic hunting loads.

HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend TSS 28ga 3in Overview

Magnum Blend for the 28 gauge mixes three shot sizes, #5, #6 and #7, of dense tungsten pellets in one shell. HEVI-Shot says the heavy payload puts a lot of pellets downrange in a tight pattern, and because the shot is so dense you can shoot one size smaller than lead for the same lethality. That makes a light, easy-carrying sub-gauge shotgun a real option for turkeys at sensible distances.

How Magnum Blend TSS Works

The payload uses HEVI-Shot’s original 12 gram per cubic centimeter tungsten shot, which is denser than lead. A blend of three sizes gives you the energy of the larger #5 pellets with the pattern density of the smaller #6 and #7 pellets. Dense shot holds its speed and energy downrange, which is what lets a small gauge shell reach turkey distances.

Shot Size and Game

The blend of #5, #6 and #7 pellets pairs the energy of larger shot with the density of smaller shot. For turkeys, aim for the head and neck, and keep shots within the distance where your gun still puts a dense pattern on target. Pattern your gun with this load before the season, because every barrel and choke combination reacts a little differently.

Choke and Barrel Notes

Tungsten super shot patterns very tightly and is hard, so use a choke tube made for TSS or rated for tungsten. Many hunters pattern several constrictions at 20, 30 and 40 yards to find the best one for their gun before the season.

Chamber and Recoil

Fire this shell only in 28 gauge shotguns chambered for 3 inch shells or longer. Never use it in a gun with a shorter chamber. A 28 gauge is light to carry and mild to shoot, even with a heavy turkey payload, which makes it a good fit for smaller shooters.

Regulations

Turkey seasons, shot size limits and legal shooting hours vary by state, and some states restrict shot size or material for turkeys. Check your state regulations before you hunt, and always identify your target and what is beyond it before you shoot.

Patterning Tips

Before the season, shoot this load at a large paper target from the distance you expect to hunt. Count how many pellets land in a 30 inch circle and look for gaps that a bird could slip through. Try more than one choke if you can, and note where the center of the pattern lands compared with your point of aim. A few shells spent at the range build real confidence in the field.
