Thank you....

Just noticed this on an APEX TSS box...

"Apex Ammunition recommends choke constrictions no smaller than 660 for 12 Gauge loads and 555 for 20 Gauge loads."

Which is getting into tight choke constriction.

Combined with the slower speeds, lower pressure and the wad they use, if I decide to use them, I'm not going to worry about it too much....

However, admittedly there are options out there that have worked well for years....The TSS advantage is with smaller shot, it raises what can be done with the smaller gauges....
