“turkey loads”

Many turkey hunters are choosing to load heavy-hitting 3 1/2-inch shells into their guns. But does the extra firepower really make a difference?

Sure, most shotgun shells will take a turkey cleanly, but what is the difference between the various loads?

Federal’s new blended Heavyweight TSS loads combine No. 7 and No. 9, or No. 8 and No. 10 shot to deliver extremely high pellet-count patterns.

Using a multi-shot, three-stage payload to deliver lethal patterns, 3rd Degree has served as Federal Premium's answer to consumer demands for tighter patterns and longer ranges.

Here’s our list of the top new turkey loads and gear to help you get it done this season.

With turkey season on the horizon, studious turkey hunters will notice myriad new choices in turkey loads and begin thinking they should try one.

After decades of creating turkey loads designed to deliver the goods at several dozen paces, this spring Federal Premium offers a line of ammo for when things get up close and personal.

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.
