Title: Which Federal TSS #9 shot?
Post by: seth.powell on March 13, 2020, 04:55:40 PM
Of all the pattern pictures that I'm seeing for the federal heavyweights TSS #9's, are these patterns from the 1 1/2 or 1 5/8 oz loads? I never see that specified and was curious if anyone using the federal had a preference.

I'm shooting a youth model 870 with a 21" barrel. Still haven't made a choice as to which chokes to try, but based on availability- I'm leaning towards the federal hw TSS route. Thanks so much!

I believe the straight 9's are 1.5oz ,  the 7's/9's blend is 1 5/8oz

This is correct information.

My 20 loves the blend shells. It's a benelli.

Federal 9's 1.5 are a very good shell in my 20g. Shot two birds last year with them and both flopped. Noticed that the Federal's kicked harder then my handloads. As I still have four Fed's shells left thought I would put them through the chrono after season.
