[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1477635, member: 4191"] You can load the tungsten shot the same speeds as lead shot, and higher, based on the total weight/payload. My 1 7/8oz load is going about about 1275fps. I didn't shoot the sandhill @ 95yds with lead shot. Shot him going mostly straight away with #5 TSS tungsten shot. #5 TSS shot will penetrate 2" in duck/goose/crane at 132yds. It's a whole new game. TSS shot is 64% denser than lead shot. And it doesn't deform at ignition like soft lead shot does. Thus my 50% pellets into a 30" diameter pattern board [B]AT[/B] [B]100[/B] [B]yards. [/B]Try that with lead shot, if you can still penetrate the cardboard pattern board with it at 100yds. Unbelievable... One of the pellets punched thru the cranes heart at 95yds. Right where I was aiming! ;) [/QUOTE]
