For all those who love Tungsten Super Shot (TSS), but own turkey guns in odd sub gauges, or simply prefer a less-common load, the Federal Custom Shop has you covered. While Federal itself offers factory TSS loads in a wide variety of gauges and payloads, the Custom Shop takes the selection even further, with hard-to-find loads such as 12-gauge 2 3/4-inch, 28-gauge or 16-gauge. Customers can choose their gauge, shell-length, shot-size and shot-weight from a list of TSS options. Gauges include 10, 12, 16, 20 and 28, with varying shotshell-lengths and payloads depending on gauge. TSS shot-size could be 7, 8, 9, 10, mixed 7/9 or 8/10—this also depends on gauge selected.

Pryodex, the revolutionary black powder substitute that continues to be one of Hodgdon Powder Company’s most popular products for hunters who head afield with a “smoke pole,” was first introduced at the 1976 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits.
Have you ever spent hours at the range zeroing a rifle only to learn it is nowhere near center when you go to confirm it at camp? Many attribute this malady to scope shift during travel, and that can sometimes be the case. However, far more often this point-of-impact change can be attributed to the way we zeroed back home.
