anyone try them on the pattern board yet? 20 ga. 275 in the 10” at a lasered 40 That’s with a 575 choke. Great hunting pattern. Could probably do a lot better with a 555

If, and that's an if, I only use 1 round per bird a year, almost sad to think that the 15 rounds of 20ga 3" TSS I have is a lifetime supply as that will put me into my 80's! Lol! Might have to go shoot some just for shootin sake! I know what you mean, heck I have almost 40 lbs of TSS and I plan on retiring about the first of the year. TN now has a two bird limit and with confirming zero on my red dot every year, I might shoot 4 shells a year. I guess someone will get a bargain at my estate sale.... I’m 50. Have about 100 rounds of tss turkey loads. I supply my son and his gun too and hunt multiple states each year. That’s a 6-7 year supply for me

Cause next thing you know, 15 shells can be considered a "lifetime" supply! Lol!

I’m 50. Have about 100 rounds of tss turkey loads. I supply my son and his gun too and hunt multiple states each year. That’s a 6-7 year supply for me I am 65 and bought 10 Boxes of the 20 gauge from Powder Valley and already had 7 boxes of the Federal TSS. My grandsons and I downed five longbeards with five shells this year. I hope to hunt with them long enough we run out of shells. Ran across these shells while browsing. I know they are not TSS but look like they would do a number on turkeys. Chris https://www.midsouthshooterssupply....h-3-inch-1-18-oz-number-6-shot-25-rounds

Cause next thing you know, 15 shells can be considered a "lifetime" supply! Lol! For sure. I’m savoring every minute. Right now have plans in 3 states next spring. Hoping to try to make a fourth and fifth happen but won’t know until closer to the season if I can make it happen or not. Spring of ‘24 will also be my son’s last at home before college. So want to make the most of it.

You’d be handicapping yourself with Bismuth. Bismuth is non-toxic and denser than steel, which is why they are made as waterfowl loads

anyone try them on the pattern board yet? I have handloads of TSS 20 gauge that I use in a Stevens 301....will put 305 in 10" and 176 in 20". In my Remington 20 gauge Fieldmaster will put 299 in 10" and 189 in 20". Killed a 21 lb bird this spring at 58 yds with the Fieldmaster. These are Hal Abbot's loads here in N.C......he sells the TSS and save quiet a bit by handload once you get all the equipment.
