FAQs:
1. What makes Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) better than lead?
TSS has a density of 18 g/cc, while lead is only 11 g/cc. This means TSS pellets retain more energy, penetrate deeper, and allow for smaller shot sizes without sacrificing knockdown power. Smaller shot = more pellets in each shell, creating denser patterns and fewer missed targets.
2. How far can I shoot a turkey with Remington Premier TSS?
With proper choke selection, hunters can achieve consistent, ethical kills up to 60+ yards due to the density and penetration power of TSS.
3. How many shots come in a box of Remington Premier TSS 20 Gauge?
A standard box typically contains 5 rounds.
4. Which choke should I use with TSS for turkey hunting?
For maximum performance, use an extra-full or turkey-specific choke. These chokes optimize pattern tightness for extended-range shots.
5. Can I use Remington Premier TSS for predator hunting?
Yes, while primarily designed for turkeys, the penetration and knockdown power of TSS make it an excellent choice for smaller predators like foxes and coyotes.
Why Choose Remington Premier TSS 20 Gauge 3″ 1 1/2 oz 7 Shot?
For turkey hunters looking to extend their range and increase accuracy, the Remington Premier TSS is hard to beat. With its ultra-dense tungsten shot, superior pattern tightness, and long-range lethality, it’s the ultimate choice for bagging turkeys at distances where other shells fall short.
