Winchester TSS Longbeards On Shelf

[Gooserbat]

I'm thinking, those.....in #8 shot....would be absolute DEATH on fox and coyotes.

Try #2 tss on Coyotes.  #3 or #4 works too but #2 will bust through high grass and brush.  remember a yotes vitals are huge in comparison to a gobbler.

I see Winchester "Last Call" TSS waterfowl loads available in #9's.  I wonder if these shells would be adequate for turkeys?  If not, maybe one of our TSS experts could explain why or why not. They are about half the cost of turkey loads it appears. 

I'm still interested in knowing what our TSS experts have to say about using the above loads for turkeys? Shot weight is a bit lower than most TSS turkey loads, but the velocity is higher.  Anybody want to explain or speculate on whether these shells would be advisable for turkey hunting at ranges out to 40 or so? The cost difference in these shells over regular TSS turkey loads is enough that I am tempted to give them a try...but I am no ballistics expert and would like opinions from some of those who might be more knowledgeable about these sorts of things.

Shoot them and see what they do on paper.  It's a light payload by 12 gauge standards and thus a lower pellet count, but I would expect it to be fine for 40 and in.  My side note is if you are going to the trouble just go all in and shoot some tss turkey loads so you take full advantage of the technology.

You don't have to be an expert to see the box is clearly labeled for waterfowl, so no, they're not going to work for turkeys. I thought you would know better.


A 1 ounce load of tss #9's in a turkey choke in a 20 gauge was getting more than 100 in the 10" a little past 50 yards at 1100 fps.

Those 12 gauge loads would probably work, tss doesn't need to go that fast for turkeys.
I've never shot tss going that fast, don't know if it would open up the tight Center core pattern or not.

I thought you knew me well enough by now that I am pretty much clueless about a lot of stuff. 

By the way, aren't turkeys waterfowl?

Rumor is, it was those webfooted gobblers you were after when you sank our boat.

You know I just can't get over the loss of that boat

If I can't kill em with what I have now, I will just quit and be a full-time tennis instructor in Florida.

I would be happy if they would just bring back the old Federal HW 7 ...

Unfortunately, that's like hoping Winchester would bring back Xtended Range. That load was ahead of its time!

 I SO Agree with you ....

[Dtrkyman]

I still have some xtended range!

Problem with heavyweight is it cost nearly as much as TSS!
