patterning the rossi tuffy turkey with indian creek .555 & apex TSS | bco review |

[@JonathanBranson22]

Took a zero confirmation shot today with this same combo in my 301. My Dad (80) who is used to #4 lead happened to be with me. His reaction was priceless when he saw the Birchwood turkey 😮😮😮😮 😆

That first look of a tss pattern just hits different 🤣

[@terrylockwood2430]

Another great video. That’s a nice pattern but I like mine more open like you do. .570 anaconda striker for me.

[@Cannonball2500]

Great video. Here are my thoughts on counting hits in a 10” circle. I started turkey hunting 41 years ago. Back then we didn’t have Hevi Shot or TSS, everyone used lead. We also didn’t have turkey specific choke tubes that I knew of, most shotguns didn’t even have screw in chokes back then. At some point it became a standard to count hits in a 10” circle and 100 hits was considered a good turkey gun. 10” was used because a turkey can move it’s head around 10” in any direction when standing still. I believe it’s not necessary with the improvements in guns, chokes and loads we have today. I do think it’s a good thing to do as a baseline when making changes in your hunting setup. Things like developing a new load, using different chokes or even polishing your barrel can make changes so small you might not even notice them. This is where I believe having exact numbers would be beneficial for comparison. It’s a little tedious and I definitely wouldn’t be doing this if I were shooting multiple patters every day like you guys do. Thanks for the awesome content and keep the pattern tests coming!

Yessir it used to mean a lot more with the older setups but now I think the biggest impact with tss is chasin’ the 10 wastes a lot of money & time but that’s good for ammo & choke companies so they keep pushing it It’s very simple to see if a pattern will match your hunting applications without counting a single pellet as the next shell in the same box could be different regardless of

Green leaf is nasty! Killed a bird last year, 50.0 yards is what the range finder read from where I was sitting to where the bird was laying, and he didn’t even flop! Yildiz lineage youth model, comp-n-choke .555

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Ya that’s a mean combo!

[@hk45c62]

Jake, I watched 4 different pattern tests in 4 different 20 ga shotguns with the IC .555 and Verdict 3 inch #9's. No heads on the turkey target were spared.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Nice!! 🔨🔨

[@hk45c62]

@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA, I've decided, after 25 years of turkey hunting, to try something other than lead. I've used Hevishot for varmints and coyotes with great success but, never tried anything besides copper plated lead for turkey. My buddy just picked up a Browning A5 and an Indian Creek .670 choke. We patterned it Apex #8 and 9's and Federal #9's, 3 inch 12ga. Both loads shot POA/ POI off of shooting stick at 40 yards. Gonna order an IC .660 choke for my 870 12ga and try some Apex. I'm gonna see what Verdict has to offer in 12 ga. Thanks for doing all the tests you, Moose and Hawk do.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@hk45c62 you bet man! Love to hear it’s

[@belowzero8845]

I like your logic. Why count? It’s either good or it’s not. Personal preference.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That’s exactly right, counting only causes people to waste more money than needed just to get 7 more pellets in that 10 lol

[@tylerisbell6916]

That 570 had more fliers so I would say that .555 is more dense

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Can’t argue that viewpoint !

[@kevinburnett3862]

Really nice… just waiting on apex to RE-stock these. Still love my small town blends but these will be 🔥🔥🔥

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Them Smalltown blends are hammers but it seems to be impossible to get them to yield leeway 🤣🤣 they’re always hawk style patterns ahahah

[@kevinburnett3862]

I do like that extra knockdown those 7s offer.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@kevinburnett3862 yessir they are hard on em!

[@gtxone2256]

the choke tube for the rossi tuffy turkey is Benelli/Beretta just to make sur ty

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Yessir

[@256ttucker]

I blew the threads off my indian creek 562., pattern was terrible before that even happened so..... wasn't even using tss, blew them out with longbeards. Talking with customer service at the moment.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Indian creek doesn’t have a .564 How did this happen? Let us know how it goes

[@256ttucker]

@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA my bad 562. I'm sending it back, we'll see.

[@256ttucker]

@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA not sure how it happened. I shot my gun and my wife asked me to help for a second and went back to my gun to see no choke. At first I thought I left it out but after the second shot I seen it go flying.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@256ttucker yes keep us updated

[@danielmastin3606]

That's wicked awesome

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Yessir 🔨🔨🔨

[@tylerdixon9482]

Which Indian creek thread pattern style fits for the Rossi?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Rossi is a Mobil thread

[@D_A_D_]

When I go to the Indian Creek website, they got a bunch of different options for a .555 choke. The manual of the gun doesn’t say which one is correct. Could someone point me in the right direction on which one I should get?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

It’s beretta benelli Mobil thread

[@mitchellweaver54]

Just for the comment “I love to watch the cowboys lose.” I am going to like this video

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Thank you 🙏🏽🤣

[@brianfuller5568]

you count hits in a 10 inch circle for the same reason you do anything, its a good excuse to drink beer.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

🤣🤣🤣 But I’m a sober man….

[@brianfuller5568]

Well women love anything to do with 10 inches. So maybe that is the reason. @@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@brianfuller5568 that would explain why so many try so hard to achieve it and never do while we sit in the back and watch & laugh 🤣🤣

[@joshsinglefooter]

No more "here we go jokes".

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I can’t promise anything 🤣🤣
