Title: TSS turkey loads coming out from Kent?
Post by: longbeards on December 31, 2018, 06:38:43 PM
Have heard rumor that Kent is going to make a TSS Load. Read today that Winchester will also.

Anyone know the prices or got to test any? Would love to compare them to Apex!!

I read that the shot in the Kent TSS loads were 15 gram like the old Federal Heavyweight shot.

Is that good or not ?

15g/cc vs TSS's 18g/cc. Lead is like 11.6g/cc and the Environmetal HeviShot shells are 12g/cc for reference.

I think theirs are called TTS (Tungsten Turkey Shotshells) vs TSS (Tungsten Super Shot).

Nothing wrong with that shot , as long as they pattern. Maybe be good for those who had problems with the flight control wads? Or don't believe they need 200-300 in the 10" to kill a turkey.  The 7's hit like a hammer .

I looked at the 20ga load coming out from Kent. It is a 15 weight tungsten shot in a 1&3/8oz load of 7's . Being from NY- we are only allowed size 8 or larger. But with only 1&3/8ounce loading- there is not a lot of pellets gained versus the 18 weight tungsten with higher ounce loadings

Yea, we have some odd rules.
                                          "You may hunt with a shotgun or handgun only when using shot no larger than #2 and no smaller than #8."

I'm guessing that should be good, as long as they're not using flightcontrol wads.
