Apex 20 Gauge 3 Inch 1-5/8oz #3/#8 Tungsten Super Shot Turkey Shotgun Ammunition

Apex Tungsten Super Shot turkey loads deliver elite pattern density, deep penetration, and devastating terminal performance in a compact 20‑gauge 3" package. Engineered for serious turkey hunters who demand lethal, consistent patterns with minimal meat damage and lead‑free construction. Built to excel from tight chokes to modified and improved cylinder options, these loads maximize pellet energy and pattern control at turkey ranges.

Key Features

• Tungsten Super Shot pellets for superior hardness and density vs. steel or bismuth

• Designed for turkey hunting in 20 gauge (3" shell) with exceptional downrange energy

• Dual-shot options: optimized for #3 and #8 pellet sizes to balance pellet count and penetration

• 1-5/8 oz payload engineered for tight, consistent patterns and lethal terminal performance

• Lead-free, environmentally safer pellet construction

• Precision-wrapped wad and consistent powder column for uniform velocities and reduced recoil

• Reliable primer ignition and consistent factory crimp for dependable cycling and shot-to-shot uniformity

• Low-flare, corrosion-resistant hull finish for durability in wet field conditions

• Ideal for tight-range turkey engagements (typical effective ranges vary by choke and shot size)

Benefits & Value Propositions

• Maximum lethality in a 20‑gauge package: tungsten’s higher density delivers deeper penetration and smaller wound channels compared with steel for cleaner, more ethical kills.

• Tight, repeatable patterns: engineered components and consistent loads produce dense patterns for higher hit probability on head/neck/upper-body targets.

• Reduced meat damage: smaller, denser pellets and precise energy transfer minimize crippling and preserve meat quality.

• Versatile choke performance: formulated to pattern well through common turkey chokes—get effective patterns without switching to larger gauge platforms.

• Environmentally friendlier: lead-free pellet composition reduces environmental contamination and complies with many lead-restriction zones.

Usage Instructions & Patterning Tips

1. Confirm your shotgun’s chamber is rated for 3" 20‑gauge shells before use.

2. Test‑pattern at your typical hunting distances before the season. Start with your preferred choke and pattern at 30–40 yards, then adjust choke or distance according to pellet size and spread.

3. For denser patterns on head/neck shots, pattern through a turkey choke or modified choke; for broader patterns increase distance or move to a more open choke.

4. Load and handle ammunition only with a clear, pointed muzzle and the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Follow all firearm safety rules.

5. After exposure to wet conditions, wipe hulls and store in a dry container to protect primers and hull integrity.

Dimensions & Handling

• Cartridge length (loaded): 3 inches

• Typical payload volume: 1-5/8 ounces of tungsten pellets

• Handle with standard shotgun ammo care—avoid dropping or rough impact to maintain primer and hull integrity

Warranty & Support

• Manufacturer warranty: Apex provides a limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. For warranty claims, product registration or questions, contact the seller or Apex customer support with lot number and proof of purchase.
