Post by: bcuda on March 12, 2024, 12:48:04 AM

Hevi Shot XII is not TSS. My state regs say with anything less than a 20 gauge it must be TSS shot at 18g/cc. This shot does not meet that standard. Not saying you cant use it where you are, just saying it is a pretty light load for a tough bird. I wouldnt use anything less than a .410 mag load of 9/9.5. I think the true .410 guys can give you the best group of ammo/chokes to sight in with. Good luck to your grandson. Z

I would pass and find some TSS (18 gm/cc).  This offering is from Hevi shot and is rated at (12 g/cc, slightly higher density of lead)).  I shoot the Hevis in my 12 gauge in 3 1/2 inch load of 2 1/4 oz.  Fifteen years ago, the Hevi shot was the bomb in 12 gauges with high pellet counts and it hit harder than lead. The .410 and 20 gauge wasn't even talked about then.  Stick with TSS only in the .410 and make sure you limit the shot to close range, which will probably be 20 yards and in.

Just received this from Rogers, check out their .410 TSS offerings.  Their prices are normally pretty good.

Well dand I  already paid for a box. Oh well not sure if I will ever use them now.  And up the creek without a paddle  as I don't have any 410 TSS for my Grandson's 410 and supposed to take him the second week of April.

I give you credit for asking.  Most would have bought and used them, wounded a bird and wondered what happened?  Plenty of wisdom and knowledge on this site.  Maybe they can be returrned?

Plenty of time to get a box. Foxtrot ammo sells them in a 10 pack and that should be enough for this year. Get it on paper at 25 yards with target ammo and then tweak it with the TSS. Money well spent bro. Z

Exactly.  Call Brice and listen to what he suggests.

Rogers has all the 410 TSS ammo you need. Just looked today and they had 4 brands I believe. Hope you get some.
