What are the problems with taking loaded 410 shells and swapping TSS shot of a similar weight for the lead to use up 410 shells that would not otherwise be used?

Pressure. Lead is softer and “gives” under pressure.
Possible barrel scoring. Wads for TSS are normally much thicker and/or use a tyvex wrap.
Volume. Lots of TSS loads require some filler to occupy space as TSS is denser than lead.
Possible choke issues. TSS normally requires open chokes.
Patterns. May be better. May be worse. Crapshoot.
For starters ...
That said, I know guys who will replace 1/8 or 1/4 oz in heavy lead or heavy steel loads.
I will load tss/steel duplex from scratch but the limited pattern testing I have done has lead me to no firm conclusions.
You’d be amazed what TSS has done to the smaller gauges.

Thanks Rick, I feel good now that I at least guessed in the right directions. So, sounds best to do TSS loads from scratch. Can you recommend any sources for the shot and wads that don't bend you over? Mike
