[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1985492, member: 64108"] I have no problem spending the money for TSS on turkeys, geese, and coyotes as I don't shoot hundreds a year and spend more on gas on most trips. They are really an entirely different ammo for the shotgun. A # 9 TSS will out penetrate a #5 lead pellet and you get 360 TSS per/oz and only 173 lead #5's per oz, double the pattern) so the pattern will hold much further out. Not sure if you know of Jim at Prairiewind Decoys but here's what he had to say; This 18 gram/cubic centimeter heavy weight Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shot turns your sub gauge gun into an extremely lethal weapon. It is perfect for the 410 Bore, 28ga, and 20 gauge. You won't believe the ballistics. For example, a 3/8oz load of #9's in a 410 2 1/2" shell gives you 135 pellets.(That is more pellets than many 12ga loads) These pellets carry more energy than Lead #4's at 1510 FPS with 23 grains of powder. [B]This loads yeieds 1.25" of penetration into Ballistic gel at 88 yards![/B] Believe me, these pellets are "the stuff!" We have been cold cocking big 12 pound Canadas with our 410's at 70+ yards. These guns are light, fast, quiet, and have no recoil. [/QUOTE]
