Charlie,

What you found is the new Hevi-shot they call Hevi-X I believe. It is a tungsten alloy, and not pure tungsten like TSS. Below is where you order the shot, from a guy named Hal. He will provide the load data. The only problem is other than powder and primers, the wads he uses are really not common so that will be an added expense. I wish he had used regular stuff we all use but the wads are available from Ballistic Products. So I has to order 250 12 gauge and 250 20 gauge wads to load a dozen shells.

Hi Charlie. The go-to guy is Hal for TSS and load data. You can find him under the username of Hawglips on duckhuntingchat.com, gobblernation.com or shotgunworld.com

Gobblernation.com has a lot of info on that forum about TSS.

I've been running TSS from Hal for a few years as a specialty load. This stuff flat outperforms anything on the market at range. #6 will shoot clean through a swan at 50 yards. Pictured is my 2015 swan taken at 50+ yards. I misjudged the range and hit it mid body. Feet were pointing up at the sun before it got half way to the water. Second picture is my 2017 swan. That one was much closer, maybe 20-25 yards. Doubt it heard the shot. Both were taken with 2-3/4" 12 gauge loads containing 570 gr. of TSS-6. Very effective load and it will roll geese easily at 60+ yards.

There's no picking shot out of the meat with a TSS load!
