Pellets from a load of 9 TSS at 1200fps have the same penetration no matter the gauge. Bigger payloads have more pellets and a denser pattern that holds longer.


OK, I stand corrected.

Now, is it fair to say that a 12 gauge shooting regular lead turkey loads, (not TSS) won't be effective at 70 yards consistantly ? Meaning, shooting lead turkey loads, the effective killing range will be mainly 40 yards & closer.
