“tungsten super shot”

Federal’s new Black Cloud TSS ammo blends the company’s super-dense Heavyweight TSS pellets with its existing Black Cloud steel FliteStopper pellets to maintain velocity farther, hit harder and penetrate deeper than any waterfowl load ever has.

With modern factory ammo performing at levels unheard of 50 years ago, fewer shooters are taking up the art of handloading. However, there’s still a market for hunters demanding the precision and specifications from their ammo that only handloading can deliver. Federal’s new Custom Shop can provide the magic they’re looking for.

While Federal itself offers factory TSS loads in a wide selection of gauges and payloads, the Custom Shop takes the selection even further, with hard to find loads such as 12-gauge 2 3/4-inc, 28-gauge or 16-gauge loads.

Packed with pure TSS, in shot sizes determined to optimize spread and knockdown power, these new super-dense loads are Browning’s answer to the increasingly trendy premium shell market, and they allow hunters to push their turkey-taking to limits that, to date, only TSS can reach.

A solid understanding of shotshells will make you a better hunter. Here’s a detailed look at each of the five primary components.

With Federal's introduction of Black Cloud TSS, duck and goose hunting has entered a new age. Now hunters can get that same performance in a 20-gauge load.

Thanks to advancements in ammunition and new, moderately priced shotguns, the once-obscure 28-gauge is now a top choice for hunts ranging from pheasants in CRP fields to bagging a trophy tom.

The arrival of Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) has had a major impact on shotgun hunting, and while it is a bit pricey, its devastatingly dense patterns at distances never before possible make it worth every extra penny.

Apex Ammunition is now shipping its non-toxic, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS), TSS / S3 Steel Blend, and S3 Steel Waterfowl loads, all featuring the Tungsten-grade wad system used in the company’s Turkey TSS loads to deliver tight patterns and improved barrel protection.
