If tss ever makes it to the shelves those numbers might sway more folks. I dont like #9's regardless of energy. Thats a lot of shot to look for when cleaning the bird. Hopefully its all head and neck. pull a low shot and put some in the breast you might as well pass him under a metal detector before eating. tungsten 7's are bad enough to look for.

The few that have entered the breast that I've shot were found on the otherside, under the skin, shot through and through with no feather pulls.  Gil

I cleaned 7 birds killed with TSS #9s this year, and can count the number of pellets found in the breast on one hand.   It just isn't a factor.  On the other hand, #7 hevishot is a different story....

I'll be shooting some tss 8's in the 12 this year. Look forward to it.
