Title: Browning TSS
Post by: thundrchikin on April 30, 2020, 08:44:57 AM
Is anyone shooting the Browning TSS in either 12 or 20? I see alot on the Apex and Fed loads but cant find much on the Brownings. Just wondering how the preform compared to the others..thanks

Browning was the worst in all gauges I tested. Apex always the best, followed by Fed.

I bought some on sale at MacksPW late last spring and filled both my NC tags with them this spring using two different shotguns.  I thought they patterned pretty well in both my guns; however, I'm not a hole counter.  They had good, even patterns sufficiently dense to be lethal for a good ways out that were centered at my point of aim. I was using the 3" 7&9 shot version.

This was my first experiences with TSS. One thing I noticed is that the gobblers sure seemed to flop around a lot more than they use to when I shot them with the old Win HV #4s I had used since 2005.

I found some more on sale last week and went ahead and got 3 more boxes.

They shot good in 410. Wish they offered straight 9s in 12 gauge so I could recommend they to guys

Curious where you found them on sale.  I'd like to try the 20 gauge 7/9 combo.  FWIW, my gunsmith said for him they pattern better then Federal's.
