The Extensive TSS discussion Thread.

I know it’s deer season but I have fall birds on my mind.

I contacted Apex this week about 16ga loads. They haven’t been able to purchase any 16ga components since July of 21. They’ve been out of 12ga 2 3/4 since then too.

Federal will make a custom 16 load but they are $110 for 10. 1 1/8 oz. I may suck it up and make an order before spring.

Man it’s high dollar shooting but after using TSS this past season, I’m hooked!!

Gotta embrace the suck, but that ain't bad, really

Ive been laying off to buy some Tungsten shot to reload. Just kinda hard to choke the price. Ballistic Products has all kinds of load data for tungsten.. they sell tungsten shot too..

First was 12ga 2 3/4 #9 TSS at 17yds. Second was 16ga #9 TSS at 12yds. Both fixed full chokes opening week 2022.

I could have killed both with a 7.5 lead light load at that range but having the option to stretch these old guns to 40 is sure nice. The patterns are so tight I don’t tear up as much meat/beards either.

I definitely agree about less meat hits. And your pictures are exactly what I learned this season. It just folds them up!!

I rolled my own this time. TSS. Felt good to take some birds with it. Tss is way to go but I still use lead to.

Don’t need tss if you call them in to 35 yards and Less like you’re supposed to. Last thing anyone needs is dumbasses popping 60 yard shots at turkeys they can’t call in.

It works even better for blowing them off the roost

Seems a little salty don’t he? Hell you can kill them at 60 with longbeards. Just fill everything with shot

Wow,is it still OK to use 20 gauge or do we have to all go to 410,since you seem to be the recent moral compass.

I shoot a 12 bud. Your argument failed as soon as you typed it.

Your the 1 who called people on here dumbasses not me. As long as rule book says TSS is legal and we buy tags I'm gonna use it. If it takes a 60 yard shot on public land so be it.

I have killed one at 55 with Longbeard XRs. I’m pretty sure these TSS would kill at 90 if I can find one roosted I’ll test it out. Hate those moving targets.
