How many are switching to TSS ?

With Apex, Nitro and Federal getting into loading TSS factory loads, how many will switch?

Used Apex TSS last year in my 20g 870 youth and will be sticking with it. Haven't swapped my 12g BPS over yet and don't know if I will. Fairly satisfied with the LB #5s out of it and I found myself with the 20 in the woods more often then not last year!

Don't know. If I ever go 28 guage or smaller I might. Long as I have #7 hevi weight shells for the 20 guage my boys use i have no desire to switch.

I dont see myself switching as long as there are other alternatives.  If they quit making the Fed HW 7's I'll probably go to TSS once I run out of the HW's.   Either that or go back to the 12 with supremes or long beards.  I'v shot a couple of the long beards and didn't care for them.  To tight for my liking.

I really can't see myself spending that much for shells. If I shot a 20 gauge or smaller then maybe. But I never minded the extra weight of a 12 and son started using a 12 so with all the good (and cheaper) loads out there, I think I'll pass on the tss.  I gotta admit though, I am curious to see what our guns would do with a heavy load of 8 or 9 shot!!

If the federal HW goes away, then yes I'll switch.

I'd try them at the range.
Here in Iowa, I believe that any shot size smaller than 7.5 is not legal.

I'm sold on LB Xr 6's in a couple pretty average 12 ga guns, can't see reason for the added expense....... I wouldn't have as much money to buy calls with!     :gobble:

I will try a box of the new Federal Tss but i just bought several boxes of the Federal HW 7 ...yes these shells are going to be discontinued...Midway USA has already listed them as Discontinued ... so if you want some of these shells better get them while the getting is good ....

Not me.

I hold my nose and pay the premium for Fed HW 7's for the 20 gauges.  LBXR's are just too good in the 12's.  I'll stock up on the HW 7's and if I run out, I'll either go back to lead in the 20's or sell a couple nice little guns...........

When I turkey hunt I use a DSD decoy

I guess I'm just cheap but I couldn't stomach paying the price of what those would cost. I've shot some magblends and some Hw's   But I've never walked up to a turkey and noticed it being more dead by some of those more expensive shells than some cheap ones I've shot. I take Conservative shots and 40- is a long shot to me. I just rather them be close lol.  They just aren't necessary to Kill a bird at reasonable range  with that being said  Im sure they'll fly off the shelves  and some good ol boys will have Facebook post tellin how they "Got it done"  at 80 yards!!!  Just not by me lol

I load my own but if I hadn't invested in material and tools I'd be shooting Apex most likely.  To me it makes little sense not to.  We spend coin on calls, gas, camo, boots, chokes, and time so why skimp on shells.  In the end our ammo is the connection between us and the bird.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

You obviously haven't seen my camo, calls and especially my boots :TooFunny:   I hear what your saying though.
