If you’re ready to elevate your game with top-tier performance, it’s time to buy TSS Size 5 Shot.
What Is TSS Size 5 Shot?
TSS stands for Tungsten Super Shot, a material significantly denser than lead or steel. Size 5 refers to the pellet diameter—roughly 0.12 inches. While smaller than traditional shot used for big game, its high density gives it far more penetrating power and longer effective range.
In short: smaller pellets, more per shell, tighter patterns, and harder-hitting energy. That’s what makes Size 5 TSS a favorite among seasoned turkey hunters and late-season waterfowlers.

Why Hunters Choose TSS Size 5 Shot
1. Lethal at Long Range
TSS Size 5 delivers bone-crushing energy even at 70–80 yards. Unlike steel or lead, which lose energy quickly, tungsten carries momentum and pierces deep, making it a serious tool for long-distance, ethical kills.
2. Versatile Across Multiple Species
This shot size works incredibly well on:
- Turkey – Known for knocking down gobblers at 60+ yards
- Geese – Effective on large, tough birds in late season
- Predators – Useful for coyotes and foxes with the right load
- Upland Game – Great for pheasant and partridge when you need solid reach
3. More Pellets, Better Patterns
Because TSS is heavier, it allows you to use smaller pellets with the same energy. That means more pellets in every shell, increasing your odds of a clean, effective shot.
4. Non-Toxic and Eco-Friendly
TSS is 100% lead-free and approved for use in all areas where lead is banned. Whether you’re hunting near water or in lead-restricted zones, Size 5 TSS is a smart, responsible choice.

5 | ~0.12 in | ~110 | Large turkey, geese, predators |
4 | ~0.13 in | ~95 | Coyotes, large geese, swan |
TSS Size 5 is the “do-it-all” powerhouse—it delivers excellent pattern density without sacrificing energy.
When Should You Use TSS Size 5?
Here are common scenarios where this shot size dominates:
➤ Turkey Seasons
TSS 5 excels at longer distances where standard loads fail. Take clean, confident shots beyond 60 yards with heavy penetration and tight patterns.
➤ Late-Season Goose Hunts
Big geese are harder to bring down. TSS Size 5 penetrates through thick feathers and bone to drop them fast, reducing cripples and long chases.
➤ Predator Control
Coyote running through the field? TSS 5 with a full or extra-full choke gives you a tight spread with stopping power.
