Kent TM without question. The only draw back is it's expense.

In non vintage guns my experience has been regular hevi-shot - witnessing some jaw dropping kills of eiders at a great distance. Have yet to shoot the TM but the testimony here has me planning to stock up and shoot it in a vintage parker and a repro this fall. Got good kills over decoys and beyond with 16 gauge Niceshot in a Parker.

Kent TM.

what choke do you boys prefer for long shots with this kent tm...i have some catching up to do on hunting duck s this fall...charlie

Charlie,
I use the TM in 16G both 1 and 1 1/16 oz #5 Shoot for SD Pheasant on public land and Ducks everywhere. I generally use IC/Mod since I shoot 40 yds and under. Mod/Full would work for longer shots. Performance, killing power, is comparable to lead.

Bob - do you use TM in 16 gauge in older vintage Parkers? If so what frame size?

1 Frame VH with Mod/Full and IC/Mod.
Bob Jurewicz

I should have stated in the above post that the Parker is short chambered TMs are 2 3/4".
So the Parker is not the gun I primarily use with TM. I generally use either a Utica Sterlingworth or a Simpson 76E, both with 2 3/4" chambers.

bob this sounds like a really good load for the 16 ga i have a ithaca with 2 3/4 chambers to try this load in..also sonds like the tm would be a good turkey load in the 16 also.thanks charlie

i have not seen any kent tm shells around my area but there probably is some..if i find some of these shells what am i expecting as far as cost for 12 ga and 10 ga and 16 ga.. charlie
