Title: Mossberg 500 .410 Fixed Full Choke TSS
Post by: klatham on February 27, 2024, 10:36:58 AM
Has anyone patterned any TSS loads out of the standard Mossberg 500 .410 with the 24" fixed full choke barrel? I am thinking about giving my full-time bunny buster some time in the turkey woods.

I just don't want to waste money buying expensive shells and they not work out (don't have any other .410 platform to shoot them from).

Yes and mine is a decent shooter. I like the Apex or Foxtrot loads

I have a Mossberg "Baby" 500 .410 bore "Turkey" in Mossy Oak Obsession with a fixed 26" full choke barrel and it does well with Federal's TSS #9.  I measured the choke when I bought it and it's actually extra-full (.389) Full IIRC is .395.

I too have this gun, and was looking to see what a 30yrd pattern would look like with the Federal 9's
