Weatherby Sa459 with Federal TSS

[jrinny]

Got out today to shoot a few Federal TSS #9 through a Sumtoy 562-5. This is what I got at 40 yards....272 in the 10 with 201 in the 20

Looks like  dead turkey's in your future, nice pattern

That is a great pattern, I love my 459.

looks good.   you know I see the numbers and think we can get more but then look at the pattern you can miss easy with that.   good luck and safe hunting

I think it will do more. The weather was the low 40's and it was pretty breezy when I was at the range. The gun also has a dirty barrel and was not cleaned in between shots. I have to pick up some # 7's to try as the state of NY does not allow anything smaller than 8's. Still have a few boxes of heavyweight 7's for the next few seasons.

I would hunt that dog! The numbers will go up some as temp rises.  No need to chase numbers.

Exactly! My 459 shooting handloaded TSS 9's with a 562 Sumtoy is around 300/200 whereas my 570 Rob Roberts is around 270/230 but both are very even. Don't get caught up in the numbers game. Anything in the 250/250 and over range will smoke one all day long.
