Title: Need help. Tss guys and reloaders......help.
Post by: Youngin23 on January 27, 2021, 08:26:04 AM
Ok guys. New to the group.  I understand this is the place to be however. I reload rifle ammo. I find it to be simple. Now I wanna reload tss for my turkey gun. I currently buy very hi end expensive tss from a known dealer. And they do shoot wonderfully.  But 150 for 10 shells.  Shew.  Anyway 3.5 incher is all I will be loading. What press and cheap is better due to only turkey shells loaded. Also I have no clue what else goes into a shell. Buffer stuff. Shot amount. Powder. Wads.  I have no idea. Also I understand some guys on here sell tss along with recipes. Look forward to hearing what you more knowledgeable guys got to tell me.

You don't need 3.5 inch for anything.  If loading for tss 12 gauge, 2 3/4 is all you need.  See Foxtrot ammo, TN Twister.

Most guys are roll crimping so any drill press will work. You'll want to reach out to Hal Abbot. He sells the shot and can provide you pressure tested recipes.

PM sent , Reloader on this forum is a wealth of info. He also has one of the most consistent, easy to load 20 gauge loads , I've gone to a 20 exclusively but I'm sure he has some smoking 12 gauge loads also and very good shot.
