General Forum / Re: Buying Handmade TSS LoadsLast post by mountainhunter1 - Today at 12:15:15 PMOne more idea - if you are staying with a 12 gauge - Salt Creek has a hybrid load for the 12 gauge that is part number five lead and part #9TSS. It is a 1 5/8 ounce load, so it will be much more pleasant to shoot. It is only around 35-40 a box. I talked to them a few months back and they claimed they were getting around 250 plus in the ten at forty with that load with a .665 constriction. They said that .665 was the choke that shined in repeated tests. Even if that load only printed say closer to 200 for your gun or whatever, don't worry about big numbers. That is still way more than you need if you are keeping your shots to forty as you stated and I respect you for doing so. Much more fun to let that turkey get into your lap before you squeeze the trigger.
If this is new to you - sight your gun in at 7-9 steps with bird shot and then go to 40 and you can likely just shoot one or maybe two of the high price stuff to be dead on. If you try to zero from scratch at 35-40, you often can eat up some TSS. If you already know this, pardon me. Just trying to save you a dollar or two. #4

General Forum / Re: Buying Handmade TSS LoadsLast post by mountainhunter1 - Today at 12:03:44 PMIt is a bad time to be changing the guard as has already been said. I am not sure if you are wanting to go subguage - but if the 12 gauge lead loads are making you sore, the TSS in a 12 is going to be identical - so I assume you are thinking of going to a 20 gauge. Either way - you can buy Herters TSS on Cabelas/Bass Pro for around 54 a box on their ten percent off days at the moment (that could change fast).
I shoot a handload personally - but I have seen about five to six guns shoot that Herters and I have been very impressed. So much that I bought some and stuck it back in case I ever run low down the road myself. That load seemed to love around a .568-.575 constriction. A TL .575 or an IC .570 should be great. If you are staying with a twelve, just get a .670 to start with from either TL or IC would be my suggestion. TL is much cheaper so maybe start there. Just a tip - if you are going to do this, do not buy ten to fifteen shells, buy about 50-60 because by next year this stuff may be so crazy that no one can buy it. #7
General Forum / Re: Buying Handmade TSS LoadsLast post by Dtrkyman - Today at 12:02:39 PMWindy Hill, Burgess creek, Salt creek, Epic to name a few are smaller companies selling loaded TSS. In 12ga I would highly recommend a lighter payload, save a few bucks and much less recoil while still giving you a pattern that would get you way further than you need to be killing turkeys!
Foxtrot has the mini twister but he seems to always be sold out? #8
