What oz load are you shooting? That may be why your counts ate lower. I think federal makes a 1.5 oz load and ive also heard complaints on fb of federal tss loads not containing the full amount of shot stated on box. Mosg are shooting 1 5/8oz loads in the 20 gauge as i am. My handloads with 9s and the 555 Indian creek do 350+ everytime. Trulock 575 is around 325.

I am shooting the 1.5 oz load

JMO here !!!! but stop chasing numbers and hunt that dog !!! you'r in the 272-277 range and that kinda consistency is perfect for hunting. That turkey is gonna be just as dead with 270 as he is with 300  of those pellets coming at his cranium

I agree...I didn't even count my pellets till I read this post and that was just to see i dont really care cause it looked good to me no matter the number

Did a little patterning today and thought I'd share the pictures in case it may help anyone else, or to see what other people thought of this.   870 20ga, 26" barrel, TSS 9's and Indian Creek .555.   About 60 degrees outside if it matters.  Fairly dirty barrel.

25 yards


40 yards - 10" circle drawn


The target face that was stapled over the 40yd posterboard


52yards


52 yard target face that was stapled directly over picture above

How has this setup worked for you?  Would you recommend this choke/ammo setup?
