Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) pellets used for waterfowl, turkey, and predator hunting range from #11 shot up to #2 shot. #11 shot is the smallest TSS pellet used for hunting, while #2 shot is largest. The diameter of a TSS pellet can vary, but is normally within the tolerances of similar steel and lead shot sizes.

This chart lists the most common TSS pellets sizes used for hunting. TSS pellet diameter ranges from 0.06 to 0.14 inches. Tungsten pellets tend to be uniform across pellet sizes, unlike Hevi-shot which can vary greatly. This helps accurately determine TSS pellet weight and TSS pellet count per ounce measurements.
TSS pellets are manufactured from many different sources, so expect pellet sizes to vary slightly. The process of making TSS pellets from tungsten powder involves adding small amounts of other elements, such as iron and nickel. This powder is then sintered to create a tungsten sphere.
Sintering involves placing the tungsten powder in a hydraulic press and compacting the powder into the solid form of a sphere at high pressures. This is how TSS pellets used for hunting are made.
