How many are switching to TSS ?

[davisd9]

Just curious if anyone has shot enough of the TSS to know if it does any damage to chokes and if it damages chokes is it harder on the barrel also?

If loaded properly it never touches the barrel.  The shot stays in the wad until it leaves the barrels, just like any shot that is harder than the barrel metal.  Also, some load recipes call for mylar wraps which is more protection to the barrel.

That is a good question being a harder an heavier shot is there long term wear and abuse on a the Gun, shooting a 10.00 round in a 800.00-2000.00 setup depending on Gun and setup that is going to eventually destroy the barrel and choke doesn't sound very wise to pay more for a round to tear up your equipment. 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.

Gotta Vinci with four or five seasons of TSS and barrel shines like a mirror. Steel shot waterfowlers use would probably come closer to doing damage to barrel than TSS loaded with the correct wad and or mylar.

Nope.  Stocked up on Hevi 7's and have plenty of Longbeards to back those up.  Playing Devil's advocate here, we have killed them for years with lead 4's and Hevi's come along, now Hevi's are out and TSS is the only thing that will kill a bird.  Where does the madness stop?  Just saying?

Devil's Advocate: who said TSS was the only thing that will kill a bird?

Playin Devils advocate part 3,  Indians used bow and arrow, throw the shotgun away.

They also drove buffalo off cliffs. It wasn't a sport to them. It was survival.

True that.

It would seem that when there are so many pellets in the 10" circles that you no longer have any chance of counting them!

Oh and out to the 20" too!  You know for close up encounters!

Do you experience any more wasted meat with TSS than other HTL or lead? Thinking they would penetrate breast easier.

You just explained it in your post. The evolution of the turkey load.

Really we all should try to lasso them and forget about bows, guns, shells, etc. just lasso em take a picture and let em go. Go back the next day and try to lasso them again. I would still go back again and again no matter if my lasso was built out of bailing twine or para cord boy it will still be fun to hear one gobble.
