What chokes should be used for TSS?… same as with lead?… but with the tight patterning of TSS maybe a slightly more open choke like MOD could be used effectively?

Dean I have been led to believe a bit more open choke than a tight full. Choke constrictions seem to be gauge specific to a point. My research led me to purchase an Indian Creek for 20 gauge .562.

I use the very tight chokes just as if it was for lead for the 7s and 9s. They are in the .660 to .675 range. I mostly use 9s. The shot is so small and the payload takes up a lot smaller space compared to lead, the wad is so thick it could not hurt anything. This is using the 12 gauge 3" and 3.5" shells. In my hand-loaded 2 3/4" I only load 1 1/4 ounce so it is a very small payload. In the 20 gauge using factory 1 5/8 ounce 9s I also use a very tight turkey tube.

The trusty 8 gauge P hammer came through again on opening morning! Using that gun makes turkey hunting extra special.
