 Was looking at the price of the TSS ammo, granted you only need a few rounds to hunt but for patterning it gets a little pricey.

Yes you are correct.
I did most of the dialing in with cheap field loads and long beards.
I bought 3 boxes.  I was patterning two guns simultaneously. Moss 500 and a Weatherby
The Mossberg  out shined the other one.  So Im down to 4 shells to hunt with lol.
But that said . If I do my job ill have one shell left when I tag out . No need to buy more shells I told my wife :angel9:

I recently went back to 3 inch #5 Longbeards in my 870 with 26 inch barrel and a .665 IC tube. My patterns are really good out to 40 and the two gobblers Ive killed, April 1 and 2, so far didn't like the #5's..LOL

However, I did take and shake one of the shells and "you" could hear a couple shot moving around but like I said, it doesn't seem to be bothering the patterns..
