Title: Nitro 2-3/4" 20 Gauge TSS
Post by: Spring Creek Calls on June 04, 2024, 02:31:13 PM
Anyone shooting Nitro 20 gauge 2-3/4" TSS? Thinking about ordering a 10 pack to shoot thru my Charles Daly 101.

No.

But they are very nice people, I would call and speak with them.

Maybe just get a 2-3 to try. Nope, I know, not listed for sale. Call them and talk to them.

I like they're 3" shells, have shot them for several years in two different gauges.

Thank you, I'll give them a call.

They have been around a long time, though in my experience their quality control is poor at best, sloppy crimps, leaking buffer primarily.

Not sure if their TSS is rolled or fold crimped, but their fold crimps were pathetic!

Folded crimp. It leaks after a while. They put paint on the crimps, it doesn't hold on the crimp.

I finger nail polish them, it holds great.

Thanks for the responses. I remember the leaking buffer problem from years ago, hoped they'd fixed that by now.

Was not just leaking, crimps were opening up and just not very well executed in the first place.

I haven't had any crimps open up for years. Yes, at one time they did!

I still polish mine for that reason.

I shoot 2 3/4" shells no problem there.
However I load my own.

Long time ago I shot Rays loads. Pretty sure none were ever tested for pressure.  I would be careful.
