Thanks for the info Jerry, I will read up on it, Looks like it would be a good load for ducks as well.

I am sure it would be great on ducks. But at over $3 an ounce not counting the other odd-ball components the loads call for, and I would think an ounce or less would be more than sufficient, it would get pretty pricey.

Plus shooting at the body of a bird would present a problem with TSS buried deep into the cavity, making one hesitant to take a bite for fear of breaking one's teeth. I posted a thread over a year ago about making a trap to recover your test shots (idea and info on the TSS site). This year from the 1.25 ounce loads I would recover about 1.125 ounces of the undamaged TSS and from the one ounce 20 gauge loads nearly the whole amount in the steel backed trap.
