[agent eight seven O]

#9 tss is equivilant to lead #5. So what would #7 tss compare to in lead?

I have 7.5 TSS, along with a different load of 8X9TSS, both for a 10gauge. Both shoot 2 5/8 oz, but the 7.5 is much more impressive. On the other hand, the pellet count is unreal on the 8X9..

If your shooting 40 couple yards, it doesn't matter a bit.

Contact Hal Abbot, he has his own TSS forum and has all kinds of ballistics for TSS, basically you will run out of pattern before lethality.

Number 9 patterns run out to just shy of it's lethality if I remember correctly.

I would love to load some 3in 7.5s for shooting ducks.  I imagine it would be very lethal...

I use Hal's 2 1/2 oz recipe in 10 ga. Who came up with the 2 5/8 oz recipe? Havent heard about it but want to try it.

Sounds like a load that was developed by the military.

If you are hunting turkeys anything lower that a #9 is overkill and 1 5/8 oz. is plenty. If 500 # 9 is not enough then you are shooting to far.

Ha ha, that's the first time in a long while that someone has made me laugh on here

What is this TSS I keep hearing about 

I just but some cheap $10 loads and kill turkeys... If I could find my pheasant loads again I'd buy a bunch of those $20 for 25 shells and they work.

Tsss works better when you get past 20 yards. Puts smaller holes in the expensive decoys tooo.

Winchester "Rooster" loads work very well, if you can find them!

I thought we went to TSS so we could tote lighter guns and not have our faces torn off with recoil, lol. I say stuff that 10 banger with as many #7 as possible and try an ostrich or a giraffe. Giraffes are birds right
