Didn't bother counting pellets...
« on: April 15, 2021, 10:00:48 AM »
Finally got my TSS handloads done and had some time yesterday to try them.out in my 20s.  I have an Encore Prohunter barrel that has just given me fits since I bought it, trying to get it to pattern.  Even the Federal TSS 9 loads were just mediocre through it and the 7 or 8 chokes I tried, putting up a dismal average of around 200 in the 10 at 40 yards.  That's all changed.  I picked up a ICD BDS .555 and my very first shot at 43 yards had me and my buddy left with our jaws hanging open. Pattern was perfectly centered too, though I did pull it juuuuust a little. I always loved carrying this gun because of its light weight and nimble handling. Now I'm REALLY going to like carrying her!  Big thanks goes out to Ronny Savage for the shot, load data and a ton of help and insight.
