After spending more on tss and choke combos than any gun in my safe...I can say what is POSSIBLE is incredible. 400+ pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yd is RIDICULOUS but can be reproduced pretty simply. Was it worth the hundreds of dollars I poured into that chase? I'm not sure. Sure was fun though! BTW that incredible pattern(I) missed a bird at 40yd but killed the same bird with the same combo only days later at 12yd. I like to call him my Thousand Dolla Gobbla 😂😂😂

Shot 12 ga 3.5” #4 2oz long beard xr for years (even when I was only 140lbs lol) and after shooting 20 gauge #9 tss in like a 5lb single shot I don’t think I’ll ever look back it’s small handy lightweight and easily outshoots any 12 with non tss I’ve seen side by side

I would like to try TSS on Turkey, however I can not justify spending $10 per shot. I have had very good luck with Winchester XR turkey loads. Even with the increased ammo cost the cost per shot is about $2.50. per shot.

I have 3 or 4 videos on my channel to prove you correct haha LBXR are still relevant. TSS definitely take it to another level though. For some people...might be worth it.

All these whiz bang chokes and loads are for guys who can’t call and get birds in close. I’ve never shot a turkey over 26yds. But I still use the high dollar whiz bang chokes and TSS loads too 😂 used BOSS Tom #7 out of my 12 and 20ga to kill my last two birds. And I just picked up a Stevens 301 .410 and some TSS loads for this year, after I kill one with my 16ga.
@chasehunt64972 жыл бұрын
Same😂😂I love getting a bird in close but can’t feel like I’m not using the best loads. I think the tss is more cost effective in the 20 and especially the .410. For the money it’s hard to beat a box of 3.5 inch long beards with a good choke in 12 gauge to me. But I have my tss for the days I anticipate field turkeys😂

When trap and Skeet became popular, after we lost most of our upland birds, they didn’t have 16 gauge divisions. I’ve never found a good answer WHY that happened, but that did irreparable damage to the 16. Which is a big shame still my favorite gauge
