I was wrong on the #7's they are Tss the older loads I believe were #7 HW 15gr/cc.  The 5 and 6 are lead. They shot pretty good with son in laws fathers gun but in 12 gauge, im gonna say in the 20 there isnt enough #7's in the load to make a big difference in patterns but they would hit like a truck if that is what makes it to the bird.

Can't blame you at that price, but the load would have been a heck of a lot more effective if they had used TSS9s instead of 7s. I guess they can sell them in states where 9s are not legal. That's why they're $14/box though - not much demand.

Yes sir! 9's and 9.5's for me, I started with 8's and they are very effective but if they would have used 9's instead it would have been a lot more appealing to the masses. Probably loaded for states that don't allow 9's though.

That is a very good pattern  for a 5x6x7 and a good price.

For 40 yards that's nice. Hunt it.

Very impressive.I would try those if I can find them,I have the older 3rd degree and they really did not pattern good out of 4 20 gauges past 30 yards.
