Hi Charlie. The go-to guy is Hal for TSS and load data. You can find him under the username of Hawglips on duckhuntingchat.com, gobblernation.com or shotgunworld.com

Gobblernation.com has a lot of info on that forum about TSS.

I've been running TSS from Hal for a few years as a specialty load. This stuff flat outperforms anything on the market at range. #6 will shoot clean through a swan at 50 yards. Pictured is my 2015 swan taken at 50+ yards. I misjudged the range and hit it mid body. Feet were pointing up at the sun before it got half way to the water. Second picture is my 2017 swan. That one was much closer, maybe 20-25 yards. Doubt it heard the shot. Both were taken with 2-3/4" 12 gauge loads containing 570 gr. of TSS-6. Very effective load and it will roll geese easily at 60+ yards.

There's no picking shot out of the meat with a TSS load!

[QUOTE=Dean Romig;240896]Vermont limits shot size while hunting turkeys to #8 being the smallest and #2 being the largest - though I don't know who would ever use #2 for such a tiny target.

Dean, I don't know if Vermont has a fall season but NY does. I have taken many fall birds with #4 shooting for the body, not the head. #2's don't pattern well with any of my tightly choked 12 bores, so I went to #4 which pattern well. I've never owned a gun that patterened well with #2's. I used to use #3's on geese back in the day which I bought from Herters. In my guns, the 3's patterend well and far better than the 2's. I am a big fan of #3's. I wish it were still available.

I'd like to hear how you guys using this spendy tungsten shot are going to get the turkeys to pose in front of a setup that will allow recovering the shot!

Richard,

TSS is magnetic so you just walk around as you are hunting the same site in the future and drag a "cow magnet" on a rope behind you.

Charlie, he's in business. I used the email address you posted and he replied. What do you think that stuff would be like in 5s and 6s (if they make them that size) for waterfowl over decoys?
