TSS #9

[Stlbaseball1]

I have a question related to TSS #9. I shoot a Benelli SBE1 with a JellyHead choke. My shell of choice is a 3 inch, 2 oz MagBlend. However, my father in law in interested in the TSS craze. He's given me a few 3 1/2, 2 9/16 oz TSS #9's to try.
Is there any harm to be done in shooting one of these shells on paper with said gun and choke? Thanks in advance.

Just to your wallet when you see how they pattern.

Haha yep that only problem.

That 3 1/2" load will also do some harm to your shoulder, but nothing permanent. A 3" 2oz load is a gracious plenty.

2 9/16 oz LOAD!?!?

OUCH!!!
That may also hurt your trigger finger!
GOING TO RECOIL!

Way overkill for sure.

Go get yourself a used 20g 870 compact or youth at a local gunshow for $200. That's where TSS really shines. I thought I'd never give up my SP-10 with 2.5 oz loads...

Is there such a thing as overkill? I've never killed a turkey too dead but I have wished at times that my shell was better.

Ditto!

Is it really worth dislocating your shoulder to gain only a yard or two in range
when you already have 50-plus yards range?

Shot a 10ga for years, my shoulder feels fine. Lots of turkey heads smoked.

But this particular post was more regarding shooting a 10ga payload in a 12ga gun.
Typically would produce much more recoil than most 10 ga guns designed more for such payloads.

Actually, isn't a 2 9/16 oz load more
than what most waterfowlers (and turkey hunters) have used in 10 ga guns?

Fire that 2 9/16 oz load in a 12ga Mossberg 835 and the trigger guard will cut your finger unless you're wearing gloves.

To each his own :tu:

Now i will agree with the mossberg statement but i would say my sx3 with tss feels nothing like my 10ga bps. I just can't figure out why people think something is "overkill" on a turkey. Like i said, i've never seen one too dead but have seen them jump up and run.
