I would like to hear from guys who have been shooting tss for awhile, guys who have been shooting it out of benelli crio barrels. Also I wander if it's easier on non ported chokes instead of ported chokes. I suppose as more folks buy it and more folks shoot it we will see if there are repercussions for shooting it. I believe it would take allot I mean allot to do any damage and a man who is setting his rig up just to be a turkey rig isn't going to be hammering 1000s of rounds of tss down the barrel each year. A friend of mine brought his gun by the shop yesterday. He's a turkey fanatic, loves to pattern guns, scout, etc. Season is over here in MO and he was trying to remove his choke to clean the gun. It was stuck. I got it out without further damage to the gun or tube. But the threads on the tube are distorted. There was no rust or anything else. The barrel threads are a little tight when screwing in the flush mount OEM tubes. He's been shooting tungsten shot. This is a dedicated turkey gun and not used for waterfouling etc. So it seems the unyielding nature of tungsten can iron the barrel/choke threads together with extensive use. He says the choke screwed in fine by hand back in Feb.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent it back received a new one and did the same thing again. I wasn't going to try a 3rd time and got my money back. That was shooting a Benelli and Heavy shot 3.5in loads. I've never had an issue when using higher quality chokes with Heavy shot,but haven't ever tried Tss.

I would NEVER stoop to shooting a bird at 60+ yards, even though I have the tools to do it. TSS shoots too tight at normal ranges.

Its not in my experience. Longbeards are tighter in close.Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk
