This was on the back page of the Bass Pro catalog I received yesterday. Gonna have to give it a try in my Model 12. Ounce and a half of TSS 9's seems perfect. Add anything and get the $50 free shipping.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230222/7f365eb393f26fb965433ed44c0462a1.jpg)

Agreed. 1.5 oz is more than enough TSS. I saw that same add and considered picking some up for a 1971 Wingmaster of my dad's that's only 2 3/4.
Your probably safe with pressures in that gun, but if pressure is an issue and your buying loaded ammo and not reloading, Foxtrot ammo would know what his pressures are.
If it's safe enough, may shoot it in my Remington 1100 with 30 in full choke barrel. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for the heads up. I have a model 12 featherweight with a full choke Barrel, I really would like to take a turkey with it.
That's a nice option. Thanks for sharing
I'm gonna try it in Winchester 50A that my dad used for ducks. It's got the factory poly choke thinking I can dial up a killing pattern with these in it.

Probably a nice low recoil option as well being only 1.5 oz!
20ga same price?

If it was me and I valued my gun I would ask an expert first before shooting TSS in that old of gun. You can kill a turkey with those guns with lead shot just pattern your shell try different shells and loads. I got one with my grandfather's 311 20ga and the best shell I patterned was a Winchester heavy dove with 6 or 8 shot. 30 yards no problem!
You have to understand that older guns typically have a more abrupt taper choke , as in shorter constriction cone ...user beware !!! Lots and lots of guys bulged their older shotguns when modern fast steel shot was used in older barrels
Steel shot , hevi shot , tss and tungsten matrix type amo is significantly harder than the soft lead that vintage shotguns were designed to use
Contact the ammunition maker to make sure ,
I agree with contacting manufacturer, I have an old New Haven 600ct 20ga that I wanted to shoot tss out of and Mossberg said tss will be too hard on the C-LECT choke..thinking about getting a new barrel and swapping them out. Really would like to kill a bird with that gun

^ No need for a new barrel. Just get some Winchester long beards or Federal grand slams
and either of those shells should pattern well enough with your existing barrel to take a
turkey with.
You're definitely right, but I don't really put much money into anything else besides my kids and hunting so I figured why not make it a new gun and use it

For sure!

I think it's safe to say if you don't think your gun can handle an ounce and a half of #9 TSS then don't use it. This old Model 12 happens to like it! Foxtrot Mini Twister 1-5/8 oz of 8.5's.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230223/cdaee8902534c88a714570a23e5da54c.jpg)
