Does any one know where I could get some load data for the tss 10 guage loads? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Brian.

I'd like the same.  I see references to 2 1/2 oz buffered 10 ga handloads, but no information on what hulls, powder, wads or buffer is used.  If you are afraid to post your load, just let us know what components and powder you are using and we can work up a load.   If I get a good load, I can have it tested in a pressure gun.

I am interested in loading for the 10 primarily to roll crimp the shells.  Nitro shells perform well but lack durability.  I have buffer in every pocket of my turkey vest and all over my truck.  6 point crimps are for trap & game loads and we all know what silicone is really good for....

here is the site address John   www.unlimitedammo.fi  run it through google translate and then follow the "recipes" link on the right hand side there are no 21/2oz loads in tss but there is one at 21/4oz in 10g some of the translation is a bit out but it is good enough to get bye  :anim_25: post up and let me know what you think
cheers Nick

How 'bout a pic of a big ten tss pattern?  I would love to c what a 2.5+ oz. load of 9's or 8x9's would look like.  I'm very close to pulling the trigger on an order of shot.  Don't know how much to order.  It'll take nearly 5 lbs just to load 25 rds, ouch!
