20 Gauge Turkey Gun Pattern Pictures / Re: 301 20 gauge with LB #6Last post by BandedSpur - Today at 07:49:15 AMThose are great numbers at 40 yds. I wonder what the 5s are doing at 40. Never could understand why manufacturers choose 5s as the only shot size available for the 20 ga. Sixes match the payload better and will penetrate as far as the pattern will hold together. Makes no sense at all to me to load a shell with a pellet that will penetrate to 60 yds but run out of pattern at 35, as is often the case with lead 5s.
I actually think fives are the better choice in a 12 gauge throwing 1.75 to 2 ounces of them, but not in the 20 with its 1.25 oz payload. #47

Turkey Guns / Re: New Salt Creek TSSxLeadLast post by BandedSpur - Today at 07:42:49 AMYes, you are correct. It will still be highly effective to 40, just not as effective as straight TSS, especially beyond 40. That Salt Creek load should nominally have 371 total pellets vs 585 for a straight TSS load of the same weight. The TSS pellets are going to penetrate better than the 5s and pattern tighter, but 5s are still highly effective to 40 and beyond. Lead 5s usually run out of pattern density before they do penetrating ability.
I think it is a load whose time has come, with some factory TSS loads approaching $20 apiece. The load would also be a good choice for someone shooting beads that finds that straight TSS loads are too tight at the distances they shoot. The lead 5s will spread faster giving patterns a little more close in wiggle room. That was the original goal handloaders had in mind when they started loading lead/TSS duplexes, to create more of an all range load than straight TSS provided. And, of course, it has the obvious benefit of being less expensive. #50
General Forum / Re: Missouri Nonresident tag j...Last post by Fullfan - Today at 07:42:30 AMI guess I will find out how the reduction to one bird and tag price increase affects nonresident hunters. This will be year 34 for hunting Missouri as a nonresident. In that time, I have made a lot of friends there. Friday evening camp looks like a frat party, 20-35 ppl show up and hang out. Sat Around noon we all meet and take a side-by-side ride, usually about 20-25 miles. We stop at lots of other camps and BS with the guys and gals. Other camps are from GA, LA, Fla, Miss, NY and Ark. In 50ish days we shall see who shows and who does not.
