I finally got into loading my own TSS loads last year, but got so busy I never even had a chance to shoot them. I finally did this year. I loaded two shells, one of 2 different recipes. Both are 3" 2oz TSS 8.5 shot using Mossberg 835 and .690 Jellyhead @ 40 yards.
In this particular case, I wasn't out to count numbers in a 10" circle. Just really to get the fear of shooting something I made myself lol, knowing I won't blow my face off.
I was very much impressed. They're what I would call VERY good hunting patterns. I'm officially hooked on handloading now. I'm curious how these loads would look with my Truglo SSX or maybe an IC.
