APEX Ammunition, makers of premium, handloaded, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, will be exhibiting at the Sports, Inc. Outdoor Sporting Goods Show in San Antonio, Texas, August 13 – 15, 2023. This is APEX’s first time at the show, and all attendees are encouraged to stop by booth # 1241 to meet with the APEX team and learn more about the company’s comprehensive line of award-winning shotshells for Waterfowl, Turkey, Upland, and Predator hunting.

“We are excited to have a chance to meet with so many dealers from throughout the country at this show and look forward to working with them to meet their customers’ shotshell ammunition needs,” said Jason Lonsberry, President and CEO, APEX Ammunition. “Demand for our product has soared in the past few years as people realize our TSS shotshells have a higher payload per gauge than most, which results in better pattern density. We are expanding our production capabilities to fulfill demand while still maintaining the exceptional, hand-crafted quality and resulting reliability and performance that are the hallmarks of our brand.”

APEX pioneered the commercial use of TSS – which is made from 18.1 g/cc density tungsten alloy, making it the most versatile and hardest hitting shotshell pellet in existence today – and handloads every TSS shell. This craftsmanship, coupled with APEX’s extensive R&D and stringent quality control, results in superior patterning and performance.

To meet a broad range of waterfowl hunters’ needs and price points, APEX now not only offers TSS loads, but also TSS / S3 Steel Blends, and S3 Steel loads. All APEX shotshells feature clean-burning powder and an advanced Tungsten-grade wad system to deliver the tightest patterns and best barrel protection possible.

Waterfowl TSS

The APEX Waterfowl TSS Z-series is a devastatingly hard-hitting Tungsten Super Shot load meticulously handloaded for ultimate consistency and patterning. Available in 12-gauge, 20-gauge, and 28-gauge loads.

Waterfowl TSS / S3 Steel Blend

These handcrafted “duplex” loads combine No. 9 or 7.5 Tungsten Super Shot with APEX’s S3 zinc-plated steel shot.

APEX S3 Steel features perfectly uniform pellets for optimum patterning in a steel load, and when combined with ultra-high-density TSS, helps deliver a harder hitting payload and improved terminal performance to reduce crippling. Available in 12 gauge and 20 gauge.

APEX also offers the popular Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blend load of No. 8 TSS and No. 3 S3 Steel in 12 gauge only.

Waterfowl S3 Steel

APEX’s Waterfowl S3 Steel is zinc plated for improved performance in a steel load. Normal steel shot has tiny voids and uneven surfaces from the manufacturing process. APEX’s zinc-coating fills these voids and imperfections creating consistently rounder pellets. The zinc also acts as a lubricant resulting in more consistent pellet drop when loading and greatly reduces the chance of pellet “bridging” where one pellet becomes locked with another. The reduced friction also allows for better movement of the pellets against each other in the firing process, resulting in fewer stray pellets known as fliers. The same Tungsten-grade wad system used in the TSS line is also used in the S3 shotshells and, when combined with APEX’s premium zinc-plated steel, delivers superior patterning in a steel load.

Turkey

APEX’s legendary Turkey TSS offerings bring a new level of performance to sub-gauge shotguns. Now available in 20-gauge, 28-gauge and .410 bore, 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 Bird

Whether you are hunting grouse or Huns out West, quail in the South, or late-season roosters across the Great Plains, APEX Upland Bird TSS helps you put more birds in hand. Available in 12-and 20-gauge loads.

Upland Bird 16-gauge, 28-gauge, and .410 bore are available upon request.

Predator

Shotshells for predator hunting typically meant low pattern count and massive lead pellets 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. Available in 12 gauge and 20 gauge.
