***Not recommended for use with Remington V3***

By far our most popular 3″ 12 gauge model. Loaded with 2 1/4oz of TSS, you can choose either 7 1/2, 8 or 9 shot and send the most pellets down range possible. We broke the mold on this one with one thing in mind, create the most lethal 3″ 12 gauge shotshell the world has ever seen. We selectively trim these hulls to make sure they cycle in any gun and finish them with a smooth roll crimp for the most shot-to-shot consistency possible

SHOT COUNT:

  • 9 SHOT: 814
  • 8 SHOT: 570
  • 7.5 SHOT: 495

Best turkey ammo ever. I’ve killed multiple grand slams with bow and gun and this ammo is the best. Awesome patterns and effective out to 60 yards with number 9 shot. Federal TSS is absolutely excellent but Apex is better.

This load is all that is needed and outperforms some competitors 3 1/2” TSS loads. When fired from my Mossberg 940 Turkey Pro and an Indian Creek .660” choke tube it will put more than half its 814 #9 Shot in a 10” circle at 40 yards. It is simply devestating when centered on a turkeys head or neck out to any range I have any business shooting a turkey. I’ve patterned this combo out to 80 yards and the pattern is still so dense a turkeys head and neck will not fit between the shot.

I have been hunting turkeys for almost 40years, primarily with lead and he I-shot. With the ammo shortage these were about all I could find and thought I’d give them a try. They are pricy but absolutely no regrets!!! Took 2 toms this year, one at 30 that never flopped and a second bird close to 60 yards. These loads absolutely smashed the toms head at that range, amazing performance!!! If you think about all the time and effort trying to put a bird in the freezer, the performance of these loads is more than worth it!! As long as I can get these I won’t carry anything else turkey hunting!

I bought two boxes of 3'' 2 1/4 oz number 9's just before turkey season started. I was amazed to find them in stock so close to the season. Hats of to Apex for keeping shells in stock when so much ammo isn't. So far this season I'am 6 for 6 on spring gobblers. I travel and hunt in different states. If you are thinking about buying Apex shells, stop and just pull the trigger and get them. All I can say is WOW!! I also purchased 4 boxes of the 20 gauge 1 5/8 oz load. I have decided to put down the 12 and start with the 20. If they do as good as the 12 gauge load my shoulder will be happy. Not only are the shells the best I have shot they also give a military discount, and come in a great wooden box if you order enough. Thanks Apex.

Great Product! Bought a box of the 9’s to try, shipping was fast and the pattern was excellent. Just closed out my season with this shell and I am sold on the product! Keeping my eyes open for this shell and others to become available so I can stock up. You will not be disappointed with APEX!

I patterned a Browning A-bolt shotgun with a turkey choke at 60 yards with a 3" shell loaded with 9 shot. the pattern density astounded me. I felt very confident that I could kill a turkey at that distance. The first day of my season I shot a Tom at 59 yards. He fell over, flapped a little bit and died. I feel this is an outstanding load and will continue to use it.

Simply the best. Shot pattern is devastating with no deviation ever that I’ve seen. I’ve actually ordered shells on a Monday and received on Tuesday. Perfect.

Patterns amazingly well out of my 12 gauge Ithaca Model 37 “Turkeyslayer”. 37 pellets in the vital areas at 40 yards with a nice even hunting pattern.

If this is anything like, the 410 shells I got it should be amazing! But what I real like is a small company Built by and for hunters! Keep up the great work!

If I could post pics of my Apex targets compared to all the brands of shot I have, no words would be needed. Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra bucks to get top quality shot. Your empty wall will not be that way for long.

Turkey hunting is challenging enough without having to worry about the effectiveness of your ammunition. APEX patterns are unmatched, have impeccable attention to detail, superior quality products, and best of all owned and operated by Veterans! There is NO other product even comparable on the market. Keep it going APEX!
