[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1990063, member: 87243"] I can totally see that with TSS buckshot, being round and hard, it will not flatten out and do more damage like a lead round ball can do out of a shotgun or muzzle loader, it just stays round and punches through, much like a full metal jacket would do, and doesn't even cut a hole, but being round, more "moves" the tissue out of the way, allowing it to partially close back up after passing through. It certainly will punch through though!! My father is using TSS 18 g/cc in his tri star semi auto .410, a super light handy little gun, and using #9's with a 3/8 oz load I believe, after trying a couple things is getting a 100% pattern inside a 24" circle at 40 yards, with that being around 130+ pellets going from memory, same pellet count as a 1-1/8 oz of steel #2's. This makes an honest 80 yard turkey gun, putting enough pellets on a turkey neck and head to quickly dispatch them, and having plenty of penetration to do the job.
