Charlie - I don't have any data, but I wouldn't think that TM would outperform highly alloyed lead shot, and lead will be a LOT cheaper.

I've shot barrels of it through a full choke gun, it seems to perform fine at fair ranges. And the boys are right, it's heavy stuff in the big magnum loads. Even the 1 1/4 ounce 12 gauge stuff is pretty hefty. I've never put any on a pattern board, I'd rather shoot it at ducks. It's too expensive to waste.
Cheapest I've seen it in the stores is about $3 a shell for the 1 1/4 ounce 12 gauge. My guess is you'll have to order it. I think you can finally buy it directly from Kent. I don't know one retailer these days that keeps store stock due to the prices. They made some 10 gauge 2 7/8 shells early on but that's not been available for years and I doubt you'd ever find any. They never made it in 3 1/2 inch length for the 10 gauge. DLH

I wouldn't waste it on a turkey when I could shoot lead at one. It's too dear to shoot at anything but waterfowl. Anybody has any for sale that Charlie doesn't want feel free to let me know. I have a back stock but it's going to run out one of these days.

I ordered my Kent TM online. It is impossible to find in stores, at least in the ones I went to.

Quote:
you can determine frame size by measuring the distance between centers on the firing pins so for example - you will normally find 16's on 0 and on 1 frames a heavier 12 may be on a 2 or even a 3 while a lighter 10 may be on a 2. the Parker Story goes into more detail.
