Has anyone patterned these with the factory full choke?

I have a CZ Sharptail 20 gauge and shot it with the factory full choke and it did awesome. Patterns were excellent with TSS 9s.

Have a good one, Bo

I've only used it for bird hunting before, but I'm curious if anyone has patterned TSS through the factory F and IM chokes.

Found some old patterns

CZ  full choke 40yds 1 5/8oz tss #9,  207 in the 10"
CZ imp mod      "          "    ''   ''    '',  197 in the 10"
CZ Full choke    40yds 1.5 oz tss #9,  234 in the 10''

As a comparison the Trulock flush .581 at 40yds, 1 5/8oz tss #9  avg. of low 200's with some small holes in it.
so for a flush choke .581 is probably starting to be over choked.

I spring turkey hunt with an extended Trulock .571 in the left barrel and a Carlson ext. .575 in the right barrel. in the .571 a tss load of 1 7/16 oz #9 has a better 10" than the 1.5oz or 1 5/8oz load.
Patterns in the extended chokes are better than the flush chokes


For lead loads,----- CZ full choke 3" Fiochi Golden pheasant 1.25oz #6 is a solid 35yds head/neck load
                             CZ imp modified same load ^^                         is a solid 30yd.     "      "     "

at 15 yds the pattern in the CZ imp mod was about 20-22", full choke was 18-20" with the 3" Fio. golden pheasant.

Thank you very much for relaying this info. Nice work! Bottom line, factory F & IC would make a fine turkey gun with the pheasant loads I have in the closet. TSS would be nice, but not essential for now.
