The HEVI-18 Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) series of turkey loads provide high pellet counts, long-range lethality, and incredibly tight patterns. There are 4 new loads being offered in 2 3/4″ (reduced-recoil 12 and 20 Gauge loads) as well as two 3″ 28 Gauge options. All of the current turkey loads available can be read below as presented by HEVI-Shot:

- HEVI-18 .410 Gauge
Sweet Home, Oregon – September, 2023 – “3-inch and 3-1/2-inch 12-gauge loads are commonplace in the turkey hunting world. But for 2023, we are excited for the introduction of our new reduced recoil 2-3/4-inch loads,” said HEVI-Shot product manager Scott Turner. “With the use of TSS, the shorter hull size delivers the ability to reduce the felt recoil, yet still have impressive results downrange. These new loads are ready for wild turkey hunting seasons this fall.”
“As far as our new 28-gauge loads go, this was 100-percent a selfish product on my end,” continued Turner. “I have really enjoyed shooting my Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 in 28-gauge, and I want to use it turkey hunting this fall. I think it’s the perfect stop gap between 410 bore and 20-gauge. We predict the 28-gauge will be the hot topic for wild turkey hunters in fall 2023 and spring 2024.”
All of the HEVI-18 Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) turkey loads are admittedly expensive, but they are the best in the business. If you need to phone in a long distance hit on a longbeard, you could not be better off than if you were launching some HEVI-Shot TSS.
