TYPES OF TURKEY AMMUNTION
- TSS Turkey Loads: Tungsten Super Shot is one of the most advanced materials used in turkey hunting ammunition. Its high density allows smaller pellets to maintain strong penetration and energy.
- Copper-Plated Lead Loads: Traditional lead turkey loads remain popular for their affordability and reliable performance.
- Buffered Turkey Loads: Buffered shells protect pellets during firing to produce tighter patterns at longer distances.
TURKEY AMMUNTION FAQs
- What are the best turkey loads for hunting? The best turkey loads are designed to produce tight patterns and strong downrange energy for clean, ethical harvests. Many hunters prefer TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) turkey loads for their high pellet density and extended range, while traditional lead and copper-plated turkey shells remain popular for their reliable performance and affordability.
- What shot size is best for turkey hunting? Common shot sizes for turkey shotgun shells include #4, #5, and #6 for lead loads. Hunters using TSS turkey ammo often choose smaller shot sizes like #7, #8, or #9 because the denser material maintains excellent penetration.
- What gauge is best for turkey loads? The 12 gauge remains the most popular option for turkey hunting due to its pattern density and range. However, modern 20 gauge and .410 turkey loads, especially those using TSS, have become increasingly effective for hunters who prefer lighter recoil.
