Nice, that will kill....
They is 326 is the circle at 40yards if I were a 10in circle just a lil lower I believe it would be 350 or higher

Looks like a good pattern and definitely a dead bird! Guess I'm a little surprised though, I figured the .665 constriction would be a little tighter at 40 yds, based on what others have said in threads about using a more open choke for TSS. Regardless, you got a hunting setup there!
The pattern looks as if it could be choked more if you wanted a hotter core for sure.
I wouldn't touch that! Amazing pattern off the shelf.

Nope, you are good to go. Dump a bunch of money on chokes and it might improve some, or it may not.
I would hunt it just like that

At around $8 a shell I would be content with that pattern. As long as you do what your suppose to do, no gobbler's walking away from that. My :z-twocents:

To get a true count in the 10" circle you would need to draw it around the densest part of the pattern then adjust your sights accordingly.
Uh-oh. Somebody's going to have a stroke.
good to go
If you want to chase numbers and enjoy shooting your gun, you could probably do some tweaking.
If ya just wanna kill a turkey stone dead, you are good to go.
That is a dead bird for sure with 3 1/2 TSS 9's. 326 with a 3 1/2" TSS 9's does seem to be low. I can get 300 plus with 3 1/2" Hevi-13 7's. With 9's, I figured the pellet count would be significently higher.
Nope, because of the physical weight of the shot. 9s weigh more, therefore they may equal the same amount of hevi 7s.
Are you able to count up all hits on that? I'd be curious to know the total hits to see what it totals to.

360 TSS #9s per oz
280 HeviShot #7s per oz
He has roughly 810 pellets in that 2.25oz load. Would be interesting to know his count in be densest part of his pattern.
Highest I could come up with was 327 in a 10in circle... I just ordered a jebs .655 choke I know I'm just chasing numbers now.

810 vs 630 = 180 more pellets. Should definitely be more pellets on target. I would think 400 or a little better. I would love to see this pattern on a 30 x 30 target. I would hope most of the 810 pellets would be in the 20" circle.
If you are not getting 400+ in the 10" with 2.25oz of TSS#9 you are not getting what you are paying for. I would be getting a new choke if it were me. Don't get me wrong, that is still a good pattern. It would work great for someone that closes his eyes when he shoots. Some people like a 30" hunting pattern.
Shoot one bird with it and you will see why chasing better numbers than that is a waste of time and money. Good luck.

Just to help you be confused. A invector plus gun probably isn't going to like a .655 with TSS. I would open it up and go with a .680 Carlson's or larger choke. I have a couple chokes you could try if interested.
This was shot with my 24" barrel Browning Gold with 2.25 350 Count TSS 9's

what I like is that to get decent density in 10 you can still have a great 20" pattern.. to me thats the huge advantage not that you can get 300+ in the 10 but you can get another 300+ in the 20 ring.. Remove the chasing paper numbers from the site here in the woods you want as large of a margin of error while having a devastating density.
I have never turned 10 numbers with any shell worth bragging about on here but a solid 15-20" pattern that allows me to go 100% on turkeys in real life scenarios is far more important.

With what choke??
.680 Carlson's
QuoteI think that pattern was in my dream the other night.
Mine too. And the shells cost $5 for 10 of them. Dream big or wake up! :TooFunny: :blob10:
OP in my opinion and very limited knowledge of TSS, I think with that heavy load and .665 choke it may be blowing the pattern some. You might try opening it up some as others have said, rather than trying a tighter choke.
