[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 3100939, member: 84442"] As a comparison between steel and TSS, a 1 oz load of #BB steel(71 pellets) at 1450 FPS will penetrate 2.25" of ballistic gel at 45 yards and 1.5" at 72 yards. Now compare that with a 1oz load of #8 TSS(251 pellets - over 3X the number of steel) at 1450 FPS will penetrate 2.25" of gel at 65 yards and 1.5" at 96 yards! The density is where the magic happens. TSS is 2.5X more dense than steel and almost 63% more dense than lead. Shot density by type Steel........................7.3g/cc HeviSteel..................9.2g/cc Hevi Duck... ..............9.7g/cc Bismuth.......................9.8g/cc Nice Shot.....................10.2g/cc Lead...........................11.3g/cc Winchester Ext.
