Home Forums Reloading Shotshells - TSS and Unleaded do you have to load your own?

Have a contact that sells the same 18-18.5g shot for a lot less then the big names. 40-42.00 a pound.

I’ve got a video on YouTube on how to load it. I’ve been loading my own TSS for 10 years.

As I understand it, TSS etc, is slowly becoming available in 16 gauge. That's okay, because I'm not buying that overpriced garbage anyway.
If I can't get 'em close enough to kill with lead, I'll give them the win and try again tomorrow.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about advanced technologies, but I'm not paying $15/shell when an entire box of lead ammo is $15!
But that's just me! I'm an old tightwad!

....and I don't have a 16 gauge loader! LOL!

EDIT:
Just went online and found this!

Our 10 GA - 3 1/2" Magnum TTS turkey loads send 880 #9 pellets down range with documented killing power out to 80+ yards with the right shotgun, scope/sight and choke combination!

ONLY $74.99 for a box if 5!

I guess the question should be, "Just how badly do you want to kill a turkey?"!

Been loading my own TSS for the past 11 years. The initial buy in will cost ya, but after that the shot at 40.00 a pound is the most expensive part. Finding ding the components has become a challenge tho.

Bud of mine loaded up some TSS 4s and 5s, he has been smashing the coyotes with them.

The main reason I keep reloading them is that I control everything about what goes into the shell.
Back when I shot Factory Hevi 13 shells, they changed wads and components several times. You would have a shell that patterned great and the next box would shoot like crap. I found the wads from the 2 shells and they were nothing alike.
I ask Hevi about it at the NWTF show and they said they did not change anything until I showed them the two different wads, at that point they would not say anything else.
That is when I started rolling my own
