TSS shot size

I can't tell any difference in the results on turkeys between 9s and 9.5s (only two TSS sizes I've tried)  But out of all the turkeys I've killed with TSS, I've only had 1 flop.

I know there is a lot of opinion about flop vs. no flop between lead and TSS.  But it's night and day for me.  I never got that response with lead.

We've got really big turkey here.
Did you read I stated it's the smallest that's legally allowed?
Did you also read the 9s off a rest, checked multiple times shoot a higher poi?
Did you read I only have 2 guns set up tss? One is a 410 so not part of the discussion. That gun is set with 9s. The smallest legal sizes in any of the states I frequent. Not legal in home state caliber or shot size.
I'm not switching my gun around like some chick changing her hair color.
The shot is dense enough. Way denser than anything I've shot lead and there are plenty of dead birds over it. In fact I've never yet shot at a bird with tss but it'd be stupid to think it'll not work given my patterning.
Who knows that may change too but I doubt it.
The one prob with this board is all the bandwagon jumpers. The experience is great. The advice is great but sometimes guys need to follow the leader per se and get on the same train. They all say the same thing while considering nothing not much else 



Wow, I think someone has their girdle a bit tight.  When someone who's got about 60 reasons to advocate tss and in particular #9 they're probably not saying you're wrong for using something else, it's just experience talking.  Best of luck and your right those 7.5s should out-do your lead. 

Nothing is correct bout your assumption. We're good. Just wondering if you not seen those considerations. Was getting tired of saying same thing over and over
