Title: Anybody else?
Post by: Roost 1 on February 27, 2016, 09:30:23 AM
Rolled up 96 rounds of the Big 20XL last night. Any of y'all using TSS?

I have tried it the last couple of years.  Definitely made a difference for me in terms of killing power, but since I don't roll my own, the shells are pretty expensive.  I'm not into long-range turkey shooting, but it sure is nice to know that you can reach out and touch them a little further if the need arises.  I hate wasting one of them on a gobbler that is 20-30 yards away, though.

I have never shot any TSS but I did shoot those custom nitros for several years.

Last year I tried those long beard XRs and will not be shooting anything else for awhile as I hoarded every box I could find.  That resin they pour the shot in works really well and they are pretty inexpensive to boot.

Man id love to try them but not real sure what to do once I'd get it. Is the reloading equipment any different? I'd heard that it can't be loaded with conventional tools for lead and that's all I possess. The shot is super expensive too. Almost think I'd want to go over the bird with a metal detector to reclaim what I could.
