Title: Cabela Federal tss update
Post by: owlhoot on February 27, 2018, 10:46:05 AM
Well I was notified today that the 20 gauge TSS ordered on January 31, backorder for February 25 has been backordered again for a tentative March 24 delivery. We will see then?
Some .410 was on the order too.

Won't even have them out in time for a lot of Southern states seasons.

Noticed Nitro commented that they are behind as well. Sounds like material (TSS) delays. Hoping not to see another spike in pricing next year.

Got the email from cabelas today that my box of 20 gauge and .410 shipped this morning and according to UPS is supposed to be delivered by the end of the day tomorrow.

It's simple to load it yourself and MUCH cheaper.  Have it any day of the week, month, or year you want it as well.   :icon_thumright:

Well I got some .410 .

1 shell you can't read anything on what it is..
On all shells the brass is stained like it was rusty , can't feel no pits.
Hard to get so it is what it is.
40 yards with these little buggers? Will see.

A box of 5 turkey loads in your shirt pocket  8)
Waiting for 20 gauge now . Backorder says end of march .

Same here..ordered Jan 30,originally supposed to ship feb 25,and now March 24th..my son has a youth hunt in fl this weekend so I had to find an alternate solution..rediculous..I think it may be best to stick with something else for a while.Theyve known for quite a while they wouldn't be able to make enough but I really don't know but a handful of ppl who have actually gotten a box..

What's ridiculous is expecting a company to have unlimited supply, on a new product, they don't know how will do.

I'm kind of surprised how many act like they can't seem to live without this ammo, yet they've never shot it before.  I understand that TSS has superior performance over every other kind of shot, but what you hunted with before now didn't somehow magically become useless overnight.

Well said. I know many are excited about the latest and greatest but in all honesty if you were killing birds with what you had then why panic? From a common sense standpoint it would be smarter to stand back for a year or two and let everyone else spend the money and do the research on gun/choke combo's and then decide. Personally I am loving it. The prices on other ammo is dropping. I just found 3.5 longbeards on a shelf for 15.99 a box and cleaned the shelf off. That's what I am loving about the situation.

Well ok that maybe true? But Federal through in the towel on every turkey load in every guage to go with this TSS stuff .
Even did it in .410 so that' showed confidence. Dropped Hw7 in 20 and 12 , which was hard to get at times. 
Made an ettempt at some limited lead offering?
Unlimited supply? Most on here can't get it.
The rest of the turkey hunting world hasn't even seen it yet,most don't even think about it until April.

No kidding, and its not like there aren't a bunch of other good options.  People freaked out last year when you couldn't find the new longbeards in 20 gauge.

My thoughts exactly. I'd like some real field experiences and how they pattern in my 20 ga. Beretta. She loves Federal HW 7's and if the TSS doesn't pattern well I still have 3 boxes of HW. My 12 ga. Beretta favors Hevi 13 7's. I don't mind paying for superior performance but I'll need to see some results before I commit to TSS. Fortunately the turkeys haven't heard they're harder to kill now than in the past.

Good deal.  I hope mine patterns ok.  It's a Winchester Model 37A Youth Model with a full choke.   It was my late uncle's who I never had a chance to meet.  He was an avid outdoorsmen.  I killed my first dove with it probably 22 years ago and have rarely shot it since.

It goes as fast as they put it up. Youth seasons are coming fast. They probably are not putting a lot of it out as the 12 gauge will more than likely be the product they are concentrating on ?
That and waste of tss in their mixed loads  ::)
