Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS in .410 bore gives small-gauge turkey hunters a serious edge at extended range. This non-toxic tungsten load delivers a 13/16 oz payload of #9 shot in a 3-inch shell, engineered to pattern tighter and hit harder than traditional lead alternatives. If you're working a .410 and want the density and pellet count that modern turkey hunting demands, this is the round built for the job.

The secret to TSS's performance is material science: Federal's Heavyweight Tungsten Super Shot alloy runs 22 percent denser than standard tungsten and 56 percent denser than lead, which means you get significantly more pellets in the same payload weight. That translates to a denser, more lethal pattern downrange—roughly double the pellet count of a comparable lead No. 5 load. The tungsten's superior hardness and density also mean pellets retain energy and velocity at distance, keeping your effective range open when it matters.

The ammunition ships in a five-round box with a roll crimp and clear card wad that secures the buffering material. Federal designed this load to cycle through standard and ported turkey chokes reliably. Note that the .410 load uses a traditional wad system rather than the FLITECONTROL FLEX found in larger gauges, but the combination still produces the consistent, tight patterns that make TSS effective on gobblers. As a bonus, Federal donates a portion of TSS proceeds to the National Wild Turkey Federation, supporting habitat and conservation work across the country.

Non-toxic tungsten means you can hunt where lead isn't permitted and feel good about your environmental footprint. For .410 shooters serious about turkey hunting, this is a premium choice that doesn't compromise on ballistics or pattern density.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Heavyweight TSS better than lead for turkey hunting?

TSS's tungsten alloy is significantly denser than lead (56% denser), which means you get roughly twice as many pellets in the same payload weight. More pellets mean a denser pattern and better energy retention at distance, giving you a larger margin of error on a gobbler's vital zone. TSS also delivers superior velocity and energy at range, extending your effective shooting distance compared to traditional turkey loads.

Can I use this .410 TSS load in any turkey choke?

Federal designed this load to pattern consistently through both standard and ported turkey chokes. Always verify that your specific .410 shotgun is rated for 3-inch shells before shooting, and consult your firearm's manual for recommended choke tubes.

Is this ammunition non-toxic for hunting?

Yes. Federal's Heavyweight TSS is a non-toxic tungsten formulation, compliant with non-lead hunting regulations in states and areas that restrict lead ammunition for upland and turkey hunting.

Why is this a .410 load different from Federal's larger-gauge TSS rounds?

The .410 load in this box uses a traditional roll crimp wad system with buffering material rather than the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad technology found in 12- and 20-gauge TSS loads. This tailored design optimizes performance within the .410 bore's constraints while maintaining pattern density and consistency through typical turkey chokes.
