Tungsten Super Shot (TSS)
Tungsten Super Shot (TSS)
When it comes to hunting, penetration energy plays a key role in hitting the target. Tungsten is one of the densest metals in the world, with 19.3g/cc compared to steel at 7.87 g/cc and lead at 11.3 g/cc. Tungsten Super Shot (“TSS”) is a typical hard metal alloy product made of 95% Tungsten powder, 5% Nickle and Iron powder to reach a density as high as 18-18.3 g/cc, which is 65% denser than traditional lead shot.
TSS comes with advantages over conventional reloading:
- Superior Range
- Excellent Accuracy
- Versatility
- Smaller Pellet Size with Same Lethality
- Non-Toxic and Environmental Friendly
Beyond the sizes listed on the dropdown, we also accept commercial orders for wider size selections.
Since early 2018, when Federal Ammunition introduced HEAVYWEIGHT TSS to the Turkey loads market, TSS has become a BUZZ word for shotshell reloading. The penetration energy is extremely high which allows for a significant reduction in pellet size, which means greatly increased pellet count and pattern density. TSS simultaneously improves the penetration depth of the pellet into the target. No energy is sacrificed when the shot travels through the target and it can dramatically boost the performance of a typical big-bore shotgun, or go down in bore size or payload without giving up performance.
