If anyone is looking for some Federal HW 1 1/2 oz. 3 inch 7 , Buds Guns has some for 18.90 box , these shells are going to be Discontinued from what i understand because of the new Federal Tss loads... NOW 19.11 per box..
I still have yet to see any of the new Heavyweight TSS shells on the market as of this month as i was in Bass Pro and Cabelas over the holidays. Still plenty of regular heavyweights on the shelfs.

They are fixing to be on the market , but i don't think a lot of people are going to like the 20 ga. load..but we will see....
Greg why do you believe the New Federal TSS load in 20 ga. would not be liked? Just curious they are not tested yet by the consumer Federal has always made great shells id think they did there homework on these new loads, but time will tell when we test them out.

Information is already out and the load data ...check it out on youtube and calling all turkeys...Some people may not like the shot size etc....If you want any Federal HW 7 you better order you some asap...these have been discontinued ........
Wonder why the 7 shot is faster than the 9 shot? They both 1.5oz payloads

Could it be energy per size of shot...is Tss called shot...lol ... that's why i said some people may not like what they are offering in the 20 ga. load...
:TooFunny: $35.95 a box of 5?????? i don't think so.
Federal has the #9 TSS loads listed at 1,000 FPS which is plenty fast enough with TSS 9's and it won't have near the recoil as something in the 1,150 to 1,200 FPS range. I am shooting a 1 5/8 oz. load at 1260 FPS and the recoil is considerably more than the 1 5/8 oz. 1,100 FPS load I previously shot.
Cabelas has the federal tss loads available for backorder...31.99/box of 5 for 20 ga 1 1/2oz load.
At $6 a shot they might price themselves out of the market.. ???

I would buy my TSS loads from Apex before I would get them from Federal. Federal is bad about switching components and has us chasing lot numbers.
