TSS Shot Performance and Turkey Applications

TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) ammunition like the Long Beard TS17 offers denser patterns and deeper penetration compared to traditional lead shot. The #8 pellet size concentrates energy on smaller targets, making it effective for turkey hunting at extended ranges. Winchester engineered this 12-gauge 3-inch load for hunters who demand consistent, reliable performance.

Frequently asked questions

What does the #8 shot size in Long Beard TS17 ammunition mean?

#8 shot pellets are small, dense projectiles ideal for turkey hunting and upland game. Smaller shot sizes create tighter patterns at distance, delivering more pellets on target for consistent lethality on smaller-bodied game.

Is 3-inch 12-gauge ammunition suitable for all shotgun models?

No. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before loading ammunition. Most modern 12-gauge shotguns accept 3-inch shells, but older or specialized models may require 2.75-inch rounds only. Check your barrel or manual.

What is an FFL transfer in California?

An FFL transfer is when a federally-licensed dealer like TacticCAL receives a firearm shipped from another seller and processes California's required DROS paperwork to legally transfer it to you. Looking for gun shop San Jose? Visit us in Sunnyvale.
