Home Forums Reloading Shotshells Does anyone load 12 ga. steel BBs for geese????? or Bismuth????

Have you thought about loading TSS, instead of Steel BBs or Bismuth? You can use a smaller shot size, and put more pellets on target, with much better energy. You can shoot geese with #6s or #7s, simply because TSS, is ~62% more dense than lead. Because of its density, it holds downrange energy and velocity much better and allows you to use a smaller more dense pellet. It will penetrate better than larger less dense pellets, because each smaller pellet has less frontal area, which creates less drag and allowing for more efficient penetration.
