What's the best numbers you've had in your 20 gauge using FEDERAL TSS 9 at 40 yds? What gun/choke combo.
My best is my M2 with a Trulock FedTSS9 choke (.555) and the Reduced Recoil TSS9 from 2018. 307 in the 10 ring.
870 compact Sumtoy 562-6 276, I.C 555 -252
Stoeger 3020. 26" bbl Indian creek .555. 318 in the 10" at 40 yds
Mossberg Youth 20. IC 555. 254 @ 40.
rem. 870 pump..tss 9=321 in 10" at ranged 40 yds. indian creek .555
Are these the 1 1/2 loads or the 1 5/8 loads? What is the difference in these loads?
870 youth 20 ga with hand loaded 9's and Remington super full got 260 in 10 at 40 yards. Can't remember the RSF constriction, think .572
Define best??? You after that 400 in a 10" with 100 in the 10"-20"? Or that even 250-250 split. Best #'s to one might mean something different to another.
Remington super full .572 only puts about 250-260 in the ten but its very even.
On a side note I tried the federals out of my 12 gauge and pattern was pushing 400, but everything outside the ten was patchy. It just wasn't what I was looking for.

ATA NEO 20ga with an Indian Creek .555 was 378 pellets at 40yrds.

I really like this patter for killing as it is dense but not to tight. The IC .555 out of my gun is way to tight for close up as it could easily result in a miss!! I have a Carlson.575. I am going to give it a whirle

Is anyone shooting these Federal TSS shells in their 20 gauge semi-automatic, namely a Franchi Affinity, and not having any cycling problems??

At a true 40 yards (pulled tape on our range) in real world conditions. 280 to 300 is what you should see. You can play and get more. You can buy other shells and get more. Got to ask yourself How dead is dead? If i was shooting over the counter stuff it would be federal or just go on and load your own.
Is anyone shooting these 20 gauge Federal 3" TSS loads in a Franchi Affinity without any cycling issues?
