I load a 1 3/8 ounce load with BPI 2092 wad that shoots good. You can get 1.5 in that wad but barely.

The problem is that the Chinese actually produce a better finished product than the American shot.  The shot produced here is not polished and it doesn't pattern as well.  The American manufacturing needs to address this but the thing is that the military is using tss to develop their anti drone loads and they don't care about it being polished.

I understand that. I don't think the majority of hunters care about polished shot either. It still patterns and hits far better than lead.

You might be wrong.  Most of the guys in my circle care because we know what has been and going backwards is not in our expectations. 

My thoughts exactly

Lead is 11.3 g/cm and tss is 18+ g,/cm depending on the exact alloy composition.  In short not much more than the 1 1/4 oz of lead will fit in the shell. 

If a 1 1/4 oz is all that will fit,how do explain the Windy Hill 1 7/16 oz load and the other guys 1 1/2 oz load of 6s.

It's wad volume.  First not all wads have the same internal volume.  Second an ounce of tss is a different volume than an ounce of lead shot.  Two different factors dictating outcome of an equation.

My grandad.

My Grandad got to eat the 1st turkey I ever killed on Easter Sunday 1992 a few weeks later he passed in his sleep. I wanted and have wished I could have called him up a Longbeard. So, if I could hunt with one person it would be my Grandpa.

1200$ and nearly a pound hanging off my gun, hard no!

You can get the best hearing amplifiers/noise cancelling ear protection for similar price.
