Who uses TSS loads?

[roverboy]

 I just wondered how popular the TSS loads are with the members on here. I've never tried them myself. I shoot Winchester Longbeard XR and can't see that I need anything "better". I think they're a good idea in 20 gauge and smaller calibers but, In 12 gauge most guns and choke combos will kill great to 40 yards. Just my 2 pennies.

I tried federal tss #9s last year. They are better than the long beard XR but they cost more

I do.  and I don't are if other loads will kill just as dead, I'm gonna shoot the best that I can afford... period.  If they come out with gold plates unobtanium waffle shot that is better than tss I'll shoot that.

At 40 yard shooting targets there is quite a big difference in the number of shot in kill zones

I do. Loaded my own a few years now. No desire to buy factory TSS loads though.

Nobody really needs TSS. Lead works great - but I roll my own TSS shells because I enjoy it, love seeing birds fold under my hand loads, and like the better odds with more pellets.

I've been looking my own for a few years now.  I haven't found anything better.

Been loading and shooting them for ten years. Nothing else comes close.

We use them also, like others I load my own and enjoy it. Killing birds with the shells I have loaded is rewarding.

Ditto.  Killed my slam using handloads in my 20ga.  Working on my slam with handloads in my 28ga.

I know they are awesome but, for my money I'm satisfied with Longbeards. Like I said in 16 gauge , 20 and smaller they are great. But, I've killed several at around 40 yards and absolutely rolled those birds. I personally am good. For everybody else keep using what works.

Absolutely agree with you. I love that this thread supports each other's likes!
