That works. Great work Brian.
Well Folks
I just had a feeling that it was gonna be a good day after Brian & myself went & had breakfast then took a little ride in the county & watched 6 strutter's in a field with no hens. Yea, 6 strutter's in July ! What's this world coming to ? LOL After talking with Brian the last few months about this load he had a great game plan. I was amazed at how he can work his magic. The pics speak for themselves ! Thanks Brian for all your knowledge & hard work !

:z-guntootsmiley: Them right there are some awesome patterns :icon_thumright:
some fine looking patterns :icon_thumright:
wow those are some sweet looking paterns!!!
Nice and they have to be hittin HARD !!!!!
:newmascot: :newmascot: :newmascot: :newmascot: :newmascot: :newmascot:
Very nice!
Brian,
Can't say enough as far as pattern. Is this a $8-$12-$15 per shell load? Perhaps a 1 1/8 oz. load of TSS #9s will be plenty of medicine for a turkey at 40 and under. I shot one of Hal's #8x#9 TSS 2 3/4 " 20 gauge loads a few years ago and albeit my only double beard, it was a whopping 9 steps away.
Just don't know about the need for the 1 9/16 oz. #9 load except for extreme distances and extremely open areas.
You have a fine shell for such purposes and should be congratulated for that.
I've been working hard on this load and thanks BUT this was not a tss load posted on here, it was a HW #7 shot :1 9/16 : 20ga. we got a great deal on some HW 7's shot and loading them for under 5.00 per load.

Brian,
Did I pay any attention to your post? Apparently not. Now that I see HW7s at only 1/16 oz. more shot than what is currently in the Federal load in 3" shells your loads are amazing. Gotta go to see the eye doctor soon .LOL.
Bria,
That is fantastic, buddy!
Congrats! You have produced some very bad turkey medicine right there! :icon_thumright:
Sweet load. I would the HW#7 would do a lot better without the flight control wad. I got to get in to reloading for sure. Awesome job Brian.
Awesome Brian!

This. Federal has a great 20 ga shell as is, but could be a whole lot better if they would drop that stupid FCW.
if they would drop that FCW....... YES IT WOULD BE A BETTER LOAD :icon_thumright:
Will be workn on a new HEAD RUSH load 6x7 HW 1 5/8 20ga. soon :newmascot:

:you_rock:
That is amazing patterns , good work ! How does the HW 7's compare to penetration to the tss 9's ? I cant seem to find the chart that used to be on here that showed all the shot per oz for all the different loads , any help ?
