I think where TSS really shines is 20 gauge and below. In a 12 gauge it is really overkill and not needed. But it enables the sub gauges to be bona fide turkey killers at turkey killing distances. Look at how many people are knocking birds over with .410s now out to 40 yards. While the killing ability of the shot is great and it carries a lot of energy, I really like the pattern densities you can achieve with it. Higher pattern densities equates to less holes in the pattern and less chance of missing or wounding a bird. I patterned my little 20 gauge a couple weekends ago and got 333 hits in a 10" circle and another 186 hits in the 20" circle at 40 yards. That is 12 gauge performance in a lighter more compact package.
