Federals new turkey shells for 2018

When developing the new shotshells, Federal Premium’s engineers set out to create loads using small TSS pellets in 12- and 20-gauge and .410 that rival what handloaders have achieved. Offerings include 3-inch 12-gauge loads with 1 3/4 ounces of No. 7 or No. 9 TSS shot; 3 1/2-inch 12-gauge loads with 2 1/4 ounces of No. 7 or No. 9 shot; a 3-inch 20-gauge load with 1 1/2 ounces of No. 7 shot; and a 3-inch .410 load with 13/16 ounce of No. 9 shot. There’s also a lower-recoil 20-gauge option with 1 1/2 ounces of No. 9 shot pushed at 1,000 fps.

So 12, 20 and 410. No 16 or 28

Nothing to think about.

Only pure tss will be offered in 410

Everything else is 20 and 12 and 10 gauges.

Anyway now kids have a real viable 410 load from Federal

wow there even roll crimping the tss loads, 7's are huge for tss though, and they are selling it cheaper than what i can hand load them, with a flitecontrol wad!

and you can measure spurs with the ruler on the shell these will sell out fast

Good point there gobbler. I ain't going anywhere 'cept at home.

Maybe most folks will think it is hype and won't spend the dollars for it.

Well in NC buckshot and slugs are legal for turkeys as well. So legally someone can use tss buckshot for turkey.

Well I need some TSS in .410 for the spring, and this might be the easiest option if I can find it in stock somewhere. When will it be available?

I just called Federal to inquire about availability of the .410 TSS. They said it is set for production this month and should be in stores mid February baring any production glitches. Sorry..... didn't ask about any of the big stuff.

I'll be sure to pick up some in .410. This will be a good option for folks who have older 2 3/4" guns too. Previously, Federal Heavyweight was the best commercially available, but this will be even better.

Reckon that'll mean Sportsman's Warehouse or maybe even Dick's? I'm sure Cabelas will have them but that's on the way to Raleigh for me.

I order just about everything now if it is of a specific nature. I am almost always disappointed in the ammo selection at the box stores. Even the better ones - Bass Pro, Cabelas, Academy, etc.

If you like the Federal Heavyweight for turkeys you’d better stock up. They are discontinuing the HW in favor of the TSS load.
