What's electric windows?

Funny.  A friend of mine in Ohio bought an old muscle car.  He took his Son who was about 8 or 10 at the time for a ride in it.  They were riding down the road and my buddy told his Son to put he window down.  He said he looked and couldn't find the button.

How dead does a turkey have to be before you can place him over your shoulder and carry him out?

Why the fuss.  It's a simple fact that improvments happen.  Tss and it's advantages have passed the Fed HW7 loads.

Not discounting the post by any means. At this point that's at best hopeful speculation unless you've personally tested them.
How many times has some company had " improvements" and discontinued it old stuff only to have you wishing for the old stuff as it was better.
As I sit for instance(not turkey related) hornady muzzleloader sabots sit on the table.
It's been really tough to find the green sabots which in my guns shoot way better than the black, "improved" ones. Now the black "improved" ones are unavailable as they were replaced with new "improved" red ones,
I've searched for the green ones and now have a stockpile.
Until this TSS shell is tested we don't know if it's better. Also TSS, and forgive me if I'm wrong, is commonly loaded under certain states legal size requirements. How do we know the right sizes would even be readily available? Like the 20 ga Longbeard loads of last year. Just not available

I have 5 boxes of the Fed's 7's but just brought 2 boxes of the Apex's tss 9's that I am going to try out before this season starts, I agree sometimes the new stuff is not as good as the older stuff we are using but sometimes something new comes onlong thats life changing, like electric windows, I also disagree with a few of you guys,I love to get some blood on my clothes!

I checked my stash of 20ga fed hw #7. I have 25 boxes and set for quite a while.However i will pick up any i run accross, it is devastating and reasonably priced. I am not opposed to change but just cant let a good thing go. Lee

I bought a few boxes yesterday.  I like them.

The commercial TSS loads are new and I can't find any testing on them to speak of.  I know some handloaders get incredible patterns.  A youtube search found nothing but an ad on Apex ammo.

So until the reviews are out and the prices eases up a bit, I'll shoot up my supply of Fed HW.

Old timers unite!

I have 5 boxes of HW7 right now and ordered another 5 today. If I run out I will probably switch Hevi's unless the price of TSS isn't through the roof. $20 a box for HW7's is steep enough.

Last spring after the season I bought a box of 20ga TSS 9 shot from Apxe. I shot them against my hand loaded 20 ga TSS 9 shot. Could not tell much difference.

I would just buy from Apex but honestly their shipping charge is what keeps me from doing that. They are high on shipping. Federal should be able to be bought with free shipping from big retailers or in the store, that attracts me to Federal TSS. I'm not understanding why the 20 gauge #9 load shows a lower speed though.

They are the reduced recoil loads I would guess. They have made them before I think?
