“pellets”

Federal introduces Heavyweight TSS shotshells with Tungsten Super Shot pellets, which the company says are 56 percent denser than lead, resulting in more energy and higher velocities at extreme range.

To ensure your shotgun is putting pellets right where you want them at the distance you expect to be shooting, you need to match the proper choke to the specific gun and load you’ll be using.
