[QUOTE="flyingfisherman, post: 3103203, member: 78280"] This is a fantastic thread…! I had heard a bit about TSS in the UK from a friend who hand loads for shotgun (doesn’t seem overly popular here in the UK, at least in the circles of people I know…). He was saying pretty much what has been echoed here. .410 and bringing geese down at 50yds plus. There’s moves afoot in the UK to utilise non-toxic shot for game shooting (already a legal requirement for shooting over water in Scotland and shooting waterfowl in England and Wales..), a lot of folk see this as a ‘nail in the coffin’ of driven game (pheasant and partridge) shooting on the higher bird shoots. Steel just doesn’t seem to stack up from availability to ability to kill at extended ranges. Obviously there are those who will argue for both camps, but whatever way you cut it, TSS would definitely work for those 60-70 yard pheasants.. I’m guessing it’s not only denser than lead, but also harder? So it doesn’t distort as much and therefore patterns better? Somebody mentioned about lower velocities, does this give a noticeable difference in the lead-picture? [/QUOTE]
