TSS Size 4 Shot – Unstoppable Power for Big Birds and Tough Game
If you’re hunting large geese, late-season gobblers, or predators like coyotes, TSS Size 4 Shot gives you the edge you need. With incredible density, long-range punch, and bone-crushing penetration, it’s one of the most powerful shotgun loads available today.
Whether you’re in a layout blind on a frozen morning or tucked into a tree line calling in a longbeard, you want your first shot to count. With TSS Size 4, it will.
What Is TSS Size 4 Shot?
TSS stands for Tungsten Super Shot, a non-toxic material that’s much denser than lead—about 18 grams per cubic centimeter. That density means each pellet hits harder, penetrates deeper, and flies farther than traditional lead or steel shot.
Size 4 Shot measures about 0.13 inches per pellet. With TSS, this translates into exceptional knockdown power without sacrificing pattern density. It’s a top-tier load for experienced hunters who need maximum energy at long ranges.

Why Choose TSS Size 4 Shot?
1. Maximum Penetration Power
Because TSS is so dense, even larger pellets like Size 4 carry immense energy. They penetrate through thick feathers, muscle, and bone, making them ideal for:
- Hard-to-drop geese
- Late-season turkeys with dense feathers
- Predators like coyotes or bobcats
One well-placed shot with Size 4 TSS can make the difference between success and disappointment.
2. Long-Distance Effectiveness
TSS Size 4 Shot doesn’t lose steam at 40 or 50 yards like steel or even lead. You can confidently take shots at 60 to 90+ yards, knowing you have the pellet energy and pattern consistency to seal the deal.
3. Fewer Cripples, Cleaner Kills
Bigger game means tougher targets. TSS Size 4 Shot reduces wounded animals by delivering deep, fast energy transfer that stops them on the spot. That means more humane harvests and less tracking.
4. Fewer Shells, Better Results
Because TSS is so effective, you may find yourself taking fewer shots. More one-shot kills = less recoil, less ammo used, and less time spent reloading when you should be hunting.
Use Cases – Where TSS Size 4 Excels
➤ Canada Geese & Snow Geese
TSS Size 4 delivers the kind of downrange force needed to drop big birds from the sky. Whether they’re cupped up at 40 yards or flaring at 80, this load will reach them.
➤ Turkey Hunting
Some hunters like smaller pellets for pattern density, but when it comes to deep penetration, nothing outperforms Size 4 for long-distance turkey shots.
➤ Predator Control
Coyote, fox, or bobcat hunting with a shotgun? TSS Size 4 can put them down with authority. It’s a trusted load for predator hunters who value versatility and stopping power.

Patterning Tips for Best Performance
TSS patterns tightly by design, especially with the right choke. Here’s how to get the most out of it:
- Use tungsten-rated chokes (typically marked as TSS or Extra-Full)
- Pattern your gun at 30, 50, and 70 yards
- Use large targets to get full visibility of pellet spread
- Don’t over-choke; TSS often performs best with Modified or Full
Safety & Legal Considerations
- TSS is non-toxic and approved for use in areas where lead is banned
- Always check state and federal hunting regulations
- Use only in modern shotguns with barrels and chokes approved for hard shot
