Hi, new to the forum so I'll just jump in.
Have an 835 turkey thug 20" barrel. Used to run heavy 13's through a briley .675 tube with great results. Now I'm trying out TSS for the first time and my patterns at 40 are all kinds of blown open and not sure where to go next. I tried browning TSS #7/9, Hearters #9, and 3rd degree blend with disappointing results.

Then bought two more carlson chokes, a .683 designed to shoot the win xr loads but stated would handle steel up to #4 and an additional calson .675 that actually can't handle steel but at that point I was beginning to buy the win xr's in #5 and #6 hoping to get anything patterning well. Moral of the story is no combination shot great at 40. 160 in 10" was my best pattern with the hearters #9, but at 40 shouldn't that be 200-300+ with TSS?

Anyway, don't know where to drop my next paycheck in search of a better pattern so any advice would be greatly appreciated...lol

Do you have the factory .695 still?   I forget if it's compatible with tss however it could be worth a shot.
