Apex Ammunition is expanding its TSS/S3 Steel Waterfowl Blend line of shotshells with the addition of a 20-gauge, 3-inch load combining 7/8 ounce No. 2 steel and ¼ ounce No. 7.5 Tungsten Super Shot (TSS). These handcrafted “duplex” loads are versatile for a variety of hunting situations with the steel patterning especially well for closer shots over decoys, followed by the TSS which has greater retained energy at longer ranges for improved terminal performance to reduce crippling. This unique one-two punch allows for excellent performance near and far without breaking the bank.
"Our waterfowl blends represent the pinnacle of performance and value, offering unparalleled pattern versatility," remarked Jason Lonsberry, president and CEO of Apex Ammunition. "We employ premium zinc-plated steel pellets, ensuring consistently round pellets with anti-corrosion properties, resulting in superior patterning performance in a steel load. When combined with TSS in our blends, hunters benefit from lethal patterning across varying distances."
The zinc coating on Apex’s S3 Steel pellets reduces friction, resulting in more consistent pellet drop when loading the shotshells and better movement of the pellets against each other in the firing process. These blended loads also use the same Tungsten-grade wad system found in Apex’s iconic Turkey TSS shotshells. The combination delivers dense patterning, promotes barrel protection and excellent shot-to-shot consistency.
Apex TSS/S3 Steel Blend waterfowl shotshells are also available with No. 4 steel and 7.5 TSS.
