Title: Is TSS here to stay?
Post by: kellyguinn on March 21, 2019, 06:54:57 PM
Been looking at new semi-autos for the wife for an upcoming trip. The recoil on my 835 is a bit much for her to handle and the Stoeger M2000 I bought for her I can't find a gunsmith to get it drilled and tapped. Figured I would sell it and start looking at the 20g guns out there. My question is, Is this 20g TSS rounds just a passing fad or something that will stick around for a while? What yalls opinions?

Tss will be around until some thing better comes along. Just look at LB: its not going any where soon but is bleeding sales due to Tss in my opinion.

TSS has been around a relatively long time already and there will be something better in the future. That is for sure.

Setup a 20 ga and stock up on TSS if that's what you want to shoot. Or set one up with Longbeards.

It is here to stay, but be warned. 5 years ago when I started loading it I gave 37.00 a pound. Now it is 52.00 a pound.  When It gets to 60.00 a pound I will go back to the Federal Heviweights.

If she likes that Stoeger, William on here I'm sure could do it.  Give him a call, Sumtoy Customs.

Yep, I think it's here to stay as long as you are willing to pay for it.

 the Stoeger M2000 kicks like a mule, if recoil a problem don't waste your money setting that up for her.

Been handloading it for 10 years now, so I think the answer to your question is yes. Hard to say about the commercial market. But I do have to chuckle at all the naysayers that said people would never pay $10 apiece for turkey shells. Mfgs can't keep them on the shelves.

Until something better comes along.  Then we're all switching again.

I don't see there being an element that could be better, atleast not as "cheap" as tungsten is.
