So it finally happened. Winchester has entered the market with TSS.

Blue Collar Outdoors already posted a few videos.

My guess they'll sell fast.

Good luck everyone 🍀

Great ammo for sure!

If you guys have to shoot TSS, several of the guys on this site say that Herters TSS patterns really well at a considerable savings per shell.

I'll stick to Apex Mossy Oak Blends in 20 & 28 gauge and Viper #10's in my 410. I have enough of all three to last me a few years.

For 20 ga 3" shells they are $50 for 5 and they are a 1-1/2 oz load so not much a savings when compared to Apex.

Davisd9, If I remember correctly, when the Winchester XR's first came out they were advertised as 60 yarders, so you are probably spot on.  Not in my gun though.

TSS is a game changer.

I've been shooting Nitro Ammunition Company heavyshot 4x5x7 for 20 years.
I'll try a little TSS.
Of course we keep it 40 and in...

Good luck everyone

They say a .22 can travel a mile, but thats not the intended use. It's a marketing thing. We all know what the line is. Follow your conscience. Z

We got ourselves the makings of a "Instagram turkey killa startup kit"

1 Box of tss ammo with two clowns  faces on it

2 flat bill cap

3 ya' daddy's shotgun

4 a Instagram account

5 ..is optional ..if you have a pickup truck with a "Carolina squat" suspension kit ..and or  l.e.d. colored lightning under the frame ... you are now a bonafide "killa"




Here we go again  , looks like the boardroom executives with zero insight into what is responsible for the long-term well being of wildturkeys ..has thrown caution to the wind ...and have signed a BIG dollar advertisement campaign ..these guys simply can't resist on blatantly making ridiculous long shot claims

"66 yards and that's where I dropped him " I can imagine the tens of thousands of dummies with zero inkling on how to properly set up a turkey gun , or even operate a turkey call beyond the "sounding like a chimpanzee stage " ..dropping cash like drunk servicemen in port. ..  thinking they can just buy that ammo alone ...and  now drop gobblers at that ridiculous range ...

This is dead on, is the industry going "too far" with this TSS blitz. I was in my local sport shop last week and chatted about turkeys with one of the sales guys. He told me he just got into turkey hunting and harvested 3 birds last year. I congratulated him. He proceeded to tell me that he shot one at 84 yards. He thought it was closer, but it ended up to be for real. He continued to say his 12 gauge has a great pattern with TSS, and is capable of these long range shots. I told him my range is 35 yards in. He asked me if I use TSS, I said depends on which Gun I take. I avoid controversy, so I decided to steer the conversation away from debate. I am sure there are too many hunters seeing adds like Winchesters 66 yard claim. There is range line of demarcation in the turkey woods that is being stretched too far in my opinion. Harvesting turkeys (or attempting too) at these ridiculous ranges in my opinion will lead to wounded/crippled birds. It's unfortunate that the newer hunters jump right in to this new gun/shot technology and never experienced the early years of fixed chokes and lead shells. My early years using the older technology calling the birds in close is the reason why I fell in love with this sport. It's the close-up encounter I enjoy, seeing him blink his eye as he struts in to my barrel. The new technology I employ just assures me a crisp, clean harvest. I like our forums policy of "No more than 40". Be safe, we will be out there soon!
