Turkey hunting demands a combination of precise shot placement and terminal performance that far exceeds what traditional lead shot can deliver. Choosing the right ammunition changes the game at extended ranges, and understanding how density and payload design affect energy on target will help you consistently close the gap on wary birds.

BROWNING TSS TUNGSTEN delivers a step-change in performance. Loaded with the densest shot available and offered in duplex payloads, these rounds put more mass downrange so turkeys out to 70 yards don’t stand a chance. Nearly 60% denser than lead, the tungsten shot retains velocity, transfers heavy impact energy, and reduces pellet drop compared with conventional loads. Shop this product

Why tungsten matters for turkey loads

Tungsten’s high density means each pellet carries significantly more kinetic energy at long range. For the hunter, that translates into tighter patterns and deeper penetration without increasing shot size. Browning’s TSS Tungsten rounds leverage this material advantage in duplex payloads to combine two pellet sizes for optimized wound channels and pattern consistency well out past what lead would manage.

Ballistics and field performance

Expect superior downrange performance: the near-60% density increase over lead keeps pellets flying flatter and hits harder at 50–70 yards. That capability is especially valuable when conditions or habitat push encounters beyond close range. Because the product is offered in various models, you can select a duplex configuration that matches your choke and barrel for the best patterning results. Price is competitive for premium performance at $67.99 per box—an important consideration when stocking up for the season. View product details and pricing

Buying and load selection

Listed under Shotgun Ammo and manufactured by Browning, these rounds are marketed in several models—verify the specific load you need for your gauge and choke on the product page. Because there are no customer reviews available on this listing, rely on pattern testing at the range: start with factory-recommended chokes and move incrementally to tune your set-up. Keep safety and local regulations in mind when hunting with high-density tungsten loads.

For hunters seeking a clear advantage at extended turkey ranges, BROWNING TSS TUNGSTEN offers proven material benefits and duplex payload versatility. Check current availability and secure a box before the season: Check current availability
