I figured some of you guys might want in, I bought 2 cases & used the 8/10 blend this spring with great success. For that price you can't go wrong https://www.targetsportsusa.com/federal-heavyweight-tss-flightcontrol-flex-12-gauge-ammo-3-5-8-10-combo-2-1-2oz-ptssx195f810-p-108527.aspx

Just check your state laws before you buy. #10 shot may not be legal. Z
Great price.

Florida doesn't care on small sizes. Probably going to stick with my decision to go back to lead in the 12.  Any super deals on .410 TSS let us know.

And Federal has a rebate right now- $5 per box if you buy 2+ boxes.

This is unheard of in the TSS world.  Looks as if most of the manufacturers and sellers are getting a 200% return on investment on this price point.  I'll bet this load would really ROCK your world with a 3 1/2 inch 2 1/2 oz payload but it should put up some INCREDIBILE numbers!!!!  Especially with 10's in the mix!!!

That will do more damage to your shoulder than the turkey's face.

If it were 8x9 I would buy all of it just for the shot, cheaper at that rate than raw shot.

I just have no interest in 10s.

Could cut open, harvest the shot and reload with steel fir waterfowl, would have to have the reload tested though!!!

No interest in 10s?  I'm waiting for someone to bring out TSS 12s with the usual "energy the same as lead #7.  Enough is enough. 9 is plenty. Dense patterns look great on paper and posted on forums but almost a so what if the 🦃 is flopping in the field.

I noticed more shot hung up in the birds I shot with 9.5 compared to 9, so 10s with so many pellets and seeming to get a lot of fliers I would assume many more hung up in the meat.

10s sure look good on paper though and are probably a good call in .410

And I already aim at the head to minimize shot getting into the body!

I agree, Tempting for pulling the tss for reloading projects.  Keep a few intact in case Bigfoot breaks in!
  I'm mathing ~$30/lb. (Non member) After state tax and rebates...
I don't shoot enough and don't wanna go down that rabbit hole..

This is my point above.  How can this company sell these shells at a 200% loss when you guys that reload are stating that you would buy them JUST to cut them open to salvage the shot?  There is a disconnect here somewhere.

12ga 8x10 guys don't want most likely!

I wonder what the effective range for the #10 shot in these loads is?  Is it even over 50yds?

Does anybody have any direct experience with these loads?  Certainly tempting, but there's a reason they've been on sale for a while.

50 yards a stretch for anything let alone 10s IMO.  Hope to never again see a YouTube nitwit claiming a "clean miss" when a bird runs off after a 50 yard + shot.  That bird is carrying some souviners.
