Ledesmalltown Hunting 28 Gauge

Apex Ammunition is now offering a 28-gauge load in its SmallTown Hunting Blend line of turkey ammunition. Engineered for hunters who demand maximum pattern density, lethal energy, and extended range, this 2 ¾-inch 1 ½-ounce duplex load combines the knockdown power of #7.5 Tungsten Super Shot with the pattern-filling density of #9 TSS. The result: devastating close-range impact while maintaining lethal pellet count at distance.

SmallTown Hunting Blend

"We have a long-standing partnership with the team at SmallTown Hunting and this has been one of our most popular turkey lines over the past eight years," said Jason Lonsberry, president and CEO of Apex Ammunition. "More 28-gauge turkey guns are being produced now than ever before and increasingly, turkey hunters are opting for sub-gauge because of the reduced recoil, knowing that with TSS they will not sacrifice performance."

Clean burning powder and Apex's Tungsten Propulsion Wad System are used in all Apex TSS loads to deliver the tightest patterns possible and maximum barrel protection.
