Common Questions and FAQs
- Is HEVI-Shot HEVI-18 TSS Turkey ammo legal for turkey hunting?
Yes, this ammunition is legal for turkey hunting in many states. However, always verify your local regulations regarding shot material and gauge restrictions before heading afield.
- Can I shoot this ammo through any 12 gauge shotgun?
This load is designed specifically for 12 gauge 3 1/2″ chambered shotguns. Do not use it in firearms not rated for 3 1/2″ shells.
- What choke works best with HEVI-18 TSS #7 shot?
Dedicated turkey chokes designed for tungsten shot typically produce the best results. Always pattern your shotgun, as performance can vary by choke and barrel.
- Is Tungsten Super Shot safe for my barrel?

While optimized for extended range, HEVI-18 TSS remains effective at closer distances. Pattern testing is recommended to ensure your setup is not overly tight at close range.
