What TSS #9 shells are working for you?

While it has lost the starter job as my primary turkey gun, I still keep my SP-10 patterned and available. I'm using Nitro #7.5 TSS and happy with the patterns, but when I run out of those shells I plan to explore other shot sizes and brands.

For 10-gauge TSS folks using #9 shot: What brand are you using? What choke is working best for you?

You'd be crazy to use TSS in a 10ga and you might get few responses.
Stuff is expensive and too expensive imo to use a whole bunch in a 10 or 12 ga. Good luck if you try it.

Apex, Salt Creek, some new guys coming out with loads this year. Nothing crazy about shooting the most ethical and effective loads out of a 12 or 10

When I use my NEF 10, its loaded with Nitro 8s.  It performs as expected.  Lots of pellets down range.

Seems like Foxtrot is a bad word around here but he has some 10ga in stock right now.

Appreciate the input everybody.

Anybody have any choke suggestions for shooting #9 TSS out of their 10-gauge?

I'm getting great patterns using a Trulock .700, non-ported, but... that's with #7.5

I use a .700 Sumtoy choke in my 10 and after experimenting with other sizes TSS 8 is what I believe to be the optimal shot size in 10 Ga.
