Columbus, Miss. (January 9, 2023) – APEX Ammunition, makers of handloaded, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, will showcase its comprehensive line of shotgun ammunition at the 2023 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 17-20 (Booth # 71104).
APEX pioneered the commercial use of 18.1 g/cc density TSS in 2017 and today makes premium shotshells for Waterfowl, Turkey, Upland, Predator, and Deer hunting that are sought after by hunters who value superior performance.
Waterfowl
APEX Waterfowl TSS shotshells are meticulously handloaded for ultimate knockdown power. The TSS/S3 Steel™ Blend duplex loads feature No. 7.5 or 9 TSS combined with No. 2, 4 or BB S3 Steel shot in 12-gauge and No. 4 shot in 20 gauge. The new Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat Blend combines No. 8 TSS with No. 3 S3 Steel for a devastating 12-gauge goose and duck load. APEX S3 Steel™ line features premium-grade zinc-coated steel and the same Tungsten-grade wad system used in the APEX TSS loads for superior patterning and consistency. Select dealers are now offering the limited-edition APEX Flight Bag of five boxes (25 rounds per box) of S3 Steel loads.
28-gauge, 16-gauge, and .410 bore waterfowl loads are available upon request online through APEX’s Small Batch custom program.
Turkey
APEX’s legendary Turkey TSS offerings bring a new level of performance to sub-gauge shotguns. Now available in 20-gauge No. 9s, 28-gauge (No. 9 and 9 ½) and .410 bore (No. 9 ½), APEX Turkey TSS shotshells are designed for maximum penetration at extended ranges. Handloaded for ultimate consistency and quality control, APEX TSS allows the use of smaller shot sizes and larger payloads for maximum pattern density and downrange energy. Also available in 10-gauge, 12-gauge and 16-gauge loads.
APEX also offers Smalltown Hunting Blend loads which feature a combination of No. 7 1/2 and No. 9 shot TSS as well as Ninja Turkey TSS loads.
Upland
APEX Upland Bird TSS will help you put more wild birds in hand whether you’re hunting grouse, Huns, quail, or late-season roosters. Available in 3-inch 12-and 20-gauge loads. Upland Bird 3-inch 16-gauge, 2 ¾-inch 28-gauge, and .410 bore 2 ½ and 3-inch loads are available upon request.
Predator
Over the years, shotshells for predator hunting have typically meant massive lead pellets and low pattern count leading to limited performance. APEX Predator TSS, offered in shot sizes 4, 2 and BB, capitalizes on superior density to deliver extended range and penetration while maximizing pattern retention for ultimate knockdown power on coyotes, hogs and deer.
The 2023 APEX Ammunition Catalog is now available online.
