Jerry, thanks for the info. It looks like someone did do some down range testing and the TSS is the way to go. I've never had a primer go 9off and I just use a dowel/hammer and a wooden table top. I'll make sure to use my old time tools [ have one for 12 & 10 ] in the future - don't need a piece of wood stuck in my hand, and knowing my luck I'd do it sooner or latter. Because I only shoot clay birds anymore, with BP in the 12 or 10 I use anywhere from 80 to a 100 grs of 2F and just 1oz of shot. The powder charge varies on how much boom I want - to excite my fellow shooters. I've even used 70grs of 3F and 1oz - works great. And you get a 100 shots out of 1 lb of powder with the 70gr charge. I know you load by volume, but I checked one time and 100grs of 2f by volume equaled a 100grs by weight.
