What Is TSS Size 3 Shot?
TSS, or Tungsten Super Shot, is a dense, non-toxic material that outperforms both lead and steel by a wide margin. With a density of around 18 g/cc, it allows you to use larger shot sizes without losing velocity, pellet count, or pattern quality.
Size 3 TSS Shot measures about 0.14 inches in diameter. It delivers massive energy per pellet, making it a top choice for hunters pursuing large geese, cranes, foxes, and even hogs (at close range).

Why Use TSS Size 3 Shot?
1. Bone-Smashing Power
With a larger diameter and high mass, Size 3 pellets from a TSS shell hit like a hammer. They drive deep through fur and feather, making them ideal for larger, tougher targets.
2. Unrivaled Range and Consistency
Want to reach out beyond 70 or 80 yards? TSS Size 3 holds tight patterns and retains lethal energy well beyond the range of steel or lead. You’ll get precision and power in every shot.
3. Versatile for Big Birds and Small Game
- Drop a Canada goose at 80+ yards
- Anchor a fox in one clean shot
- Break through thick feathers and hide
This shot size bridges the gap between bird loads and mid-size game control.
4. Fewer Misses and Cripples
Larger TSS pellets reduce the chance of wounding. You’ll enjoy cleaner kills, which means less tracking, less suffering, and faster recoveries.
