What in the world is this? Confused by their description. Are they saying #6 TSS over #5 TSS. That's crazy.

I don't think they are loading TSS pellets. Sounds like a blend of #6 and #5 of a TSS based pellet the #6 are heavier than HTL and the #5 are HTS whatever that means. It is supposedly cheaper that a straight load of TSS #7. I guess they need to give the specific gravity of their #6 TSS and #5 TSS based pellet might shed a little more light on the subject. Looks like a marketing department trying to get on the TSS band wagon with out loading TSS.
I'll just keep loading my own.
HEAVIER THAN LEAD® #6 tungsten pellets layered over HEAVIER THAN STEEL® HEVI-X #5 tungsten pellets
Sounds like a waste.
Lead is ~11g/cc where steel is ~8g/cc. This crap is probably 12g/cc #6s over 10g/cc #5s.
Cool name, all caps, definitely going to be a big seller.

The point of tss is to shoot smaller pellets to increase pellet count to payload making all these barely heavier blend Franken mixes in the same size as standard lead loads just makes a expensive complicated barely increased performance load that they can pimp and pump marketing based on hot buzz words like TSS when it's not.

I believe it's a blend of standard hevi and the hevi x from the waterfowl loads. Hevi x waterfowl is great in terms of waterfowl, but it basically shoots like lead.

Not to long ago this would have started a word war.

I don't know about this load, but I love Hevi-X (the regular stuff) for waterfowl. 2's for large geese and 4's for ducks.

Exactly
Definitely looks like a marketing ploy.
