New Last Call TSS Shotshells For Elite Waterfowl Hunters

Waterfowl hunters need not panic, as Winchester is not going anywhere as the title of this Hook & Barrel “Field Notes & News” post might have implied. In fact, like a fine wine or a rare, aged small-batch bourbon, Winchester waterfowl loads seem to only get better with time.

Cheers To Winchester's New Last Call TSS

Just in time for the upcoming 2024-2025 waterfowl seasons as the action in the flyways heats up, Winchester launches its all-new TSS waterfowl load called, appropriately Last Call. Winchester TSS is approximately 2.25 times denser than steel shot. That translates to hunters being able to use smaller shot size but maintaining the same effective range and lethality with much denser patterns.

Winchester Last Call TSS—Better Penetration, Inescapable Patterns

According to Winchester’s rigorous testing, when compared to the equivalent payload of #4 steel in a 30-inch circle at 40 yards, TSS shot-buffered 18G/CC tungsten delivers over 50% more payload energy with 1.6 times greater penetration, creating payloads with 80% more pellets than steel truly maximizes the kill zone. Those numbers are nothing to laugh about…especially if you’re a duck!

Last Call TSS is also harsh-weather-proven with its sealed wad and primer construction.
