Currently available non-TSS options?

[mcw3734]

What currently available factory load would you recommend for a 10-gauge that is NOT TSS? Interested in hearing the brand, shot size, and choke size.

As you've likely heard, TSS has gotten even more expensive recently. My backup/alternate gun is a SP-10 with a red dot and while it has a few TSS rounds left, after those are gone, I may consider another option.

My primary is a 20-gauge with #9 TSS. For pattern reliability and lethality, I will likely continue with TSS for both guns. I'm asking because I've heard about manufacturers fading out 10-gauge ammo and wondering what is still out there to use.

In a 10ga??? Basic heavy shot 6s or even lead 5s is plenty.

Never understood someone slinging tss out if a canon.

Usually a 20ga but as a back up you jump to a 10? Wouldn't take many tss shots to warrant a purchase of a cheap 20ga pump

Besides my shiny 12-gauge Beretta O/U that's more for wingshooting, the 10 is the only other shotgun I have. It was my original primary turkey gun.

Winchester Double X Magnum 5's with a Pure Gold .690 choke does well out of my Browning Gold 10. Good luck

Federal has the Grand Slams in 10 gauge. They use the flite control wad I believe. I have been meaning to pick up a box to try out for a while now, just been way too busy to get to it. Sumtoy makes a choke for the heavyweight federals that use this wad, it might be the ticket with the grand slams?

I saw rogers had magnum blends on sale.

SP10 is a gun i hunted w for years. It shot most everything good. The win xx supreme mags Tom recommended are a good choice but I think Winchester stopped with the mags. Not sure about in 10ga? 
I'd think most good lead plated copper loads will work. If given a choice id go for load weight more than the high velocity nonsense.
All that being said, most 3-1/2" 12ga will throw a similar pattern. My ulti mag threw one more than close. Idk if you'd even need 3-1/2" anymore but it's actually good to see some older guns/ideas getting used. That gun is has been around enough to have a few stories behind it. Good luck w it and best of luck carrying that beast. Its got some weight
