Tss turkey loads

I would put the Magnum Blends from Hevishot
against most any other shell on the market

I am using a comp n choke and an Indian Creek on my two turkey guns with TSS

You obviously don't have any experience with tss. Those magblends are to tss what Remington nitros we're to magblends.

TSS is an entirely different ballpark, if not sport. A #9 TSS weighs the same as a #5 lead shot, is much harder, does not deform, does not lose velocity, patterns better, penetrates better. It is almost 3x the density of steel shot.

When you roll you're on, you roll em all. Can't wait to see how new M2 20 ga. is going to shoot.

Has anyone used the new TSS turkey loads yet? I'm particularly interested in best patterning chokes if someone has tested them yet.

Affinity 20, carlsons .568 and also encore 20 with jebs, I forgot the number. Both pattern really nice to 40 with nitro 5,6,7 , federal 7 tss, and Lb #5s. I'll look at my wife's jebs choke later for the size

My wife's encore has a .560 jebs

TSS has done wonders. They pattern and hit hard. They shoot great out my my l2 gauge. The only thing I don't like is the price.

M2 did good. Shot one at 42 and one at 48. Loaded Hal's Big 20XL. It put 42 in a three inch circle at 40 yds. I think next year I'm going to try an Affinity 20 as my buddy wants my M2.

The Affinity 20 has been my chukar gun hunting 5-8,000' steep hills for over 5 years now and I could never go back to a 7lb+ gun. It is light, fast pointing and reliable, even without ever cleaning it. I was close to 3,000 rounds of skeet, trap, sporting clays, and hunting before I cleaned it and never had a malfunction. Great gun, even shooting 1 1/4oz 3" shells the recoil is mild so I even use it jump shooting waterfowl. If I shoot TSS I will use it for geese.

37 yards with tss # 9,s. never moved after being shot.

Only issue I've had with them is my daughters tristar viper g2 tears the rim with the extractor-- so far they eject fine, just tear the rim-- but I fear at some point they will get stuck in the chamber. Dont get this with any other ammo, just the tss

Yes, I have noticed that with the 3 gobblers I have shot, they drop stone dead without a twitch or flutter.

sounds like you may need new recoil springs as it seems like the breech block is starting to move rearward early before the pressure is down and the case is still pressed againest the chamber wall.
