Title: TSS 9 handloads illegal in many states?
Post by: ahfox16 on March 17, 2013, 05:35:33 AM
I was looking at heading for Nebraska and see nothing smaller then size 7 can be used.  I am therefore assuming 9 tT can't be used in those states as well as others (not in Virginia my home state either).  Are some of these loads being put together put together for other reason's besides hunting.  Just curious.  FWIW, I shot blends in Maine two years ago and  was told straight 7's were illegal, but blends were ok.  Lots of rules out there.

You definitely need to check your state regulations on size of shot.  However, I can't imagine there are too many wardens out there cutting open shells and measuring shot.

Delaware 7 or 7 1/2 can be used but has to be mixed with 6, 5, or 4. Nothing bigger then 4

Ok... Load up your TSS 9's and throw a couple 6's in there and you should be legal.

I doubt a game warden would check your shells. Like has been said before "whose going to cut open a shell to check it".

I have heard of them cutting a shell open before. But I bet its very unlikely.
