What will the cost be?

Mind if I ask what choke diameter you were using out of the BPS Clark? Great review. Already have a 20 setup for TSS but curious as to what choke you were using for the over-bored BPS as I have one as well and would be interested in possibly moving it into TSS as wel.

Thanks for the information...

I used a .665 for the evaluation. I think a .670 would also work well but only some additional range time will tell.

Appreciate your work, informative article. What's your opinion on long range shots on turkeys versus getting toms in closer?

Dismissive no more?

Clark,
Thank you very much for the info.  I have handloaded TSS in 20 gauge and will probably stick with what I have.  I previously shot Fed #7 HW for 5 years in 20 gauge.  Thanks again.  Terry Wagner

Thank you.   Call them in close. For me at least, that's what it's all about.
Thanks again,
Clark

very interesting, $5 seems like a big price difference between 7's and 9's for a 3in 20ga load unless they are different payloads. Also curious to see how the new 3rd degree round patterns as I see it will basically be the same price as the discontinued HWs but can it shoot as good

Am I the only one disappointed that they have dropped the HW7's, glad I have a few boxes of the 20's left. After I use them up, I guess I'll try the new offerings.
