Yes, I was pleased with the patterns of the HWT 7. I have about 5 boxes of  7's left still so they should last several seasons. I was a little disappointed with the patterns from the 2  TSS 9's patterns but I wasn't cleaning the barrel between shots . Probably should have been though. I have a .565 Trulock choke to try later .

The  tss#9 patterns are great hunting patterns. You can increase your numbers in 10" by going with .562, or .565,  but they will be super tight at 20 yards.
