Title: Will different brands of TSS pattern differently?
Post by: lunghit on May 29, 2021, 11:31:08 AM
If you have two different brands of TSS but the same shot shell specs do you think they will have the same POA/POI? Let's say you have Apex and Foxtrot ammo both 3" number 9's with 1 5/8 ounce of shot and use the same gun and choke combo. Are the chances pretty good that they will shoot the same? I know I would have to shoot to confirm but if you think they wouldn't be close I won't spend the money to try. Thanks.

This is just an opinion, but if it does with lead shot and it does with bullets then why would it not with TSS?

I never knew lead would pattern differently per brand of shell. Growing up duck hunting or even just skeet shooting I would grab federal, Winchester or Remington shells and just go. I never took the time to pattern those and never noticed more hits or misses with different brands. I was looking to try some different brands of TSS from whoever I can find in stock but maybe I will buy from
one manufacturer.

It will pattern differently, may even have a change in poi. With that being said both will kill turkeys, just like your duck loads kill them ducks.

Yes, they will certainly pattern differently and very likely shoot to slightly different POIs as well.

I have a gun that shoots 3.5" TSS #9 Apex and Nitro shells to the same POI as well as Pattern similar.   Pendleton 3.5" #9 Ammo out of that same gun shoots Low right and pattern is blotchy.

I do apologize, I was in no way trying to insult.
