I shoot my brass 1 3/4oz turkey loads out of a 32" twist steel 10 gauge lifter. It is choked full and full and the load patterns very nicely out to 30-35 yards. It opens up a little more at 40 yards than I would like but would probably still kill a turkey if I make a good shot. I have thought about loading the TSS out of the brass shells but I have been told it is not recommended in the older twist and damascus barrels. I have some loaded up in Fiocchi 12 gauge hulls in 1 5/8oz I'm using this turkey season out of a 12 Trojan. The patterns with #9 are excellent at 40 yards. I just don't feel comfortable shooting at them a lot farther out but they may kill a turkey farther than that if I do my job putting the pattern where it needs to be.
