Locating tungsten pellets in meat

[mnhunter2]

Looking for a way to locate tungsten pellets in my turkey meat?

Follow the entrance wound

Put meat in glass bottom pie plate or dish and shine a flashlight thru the meat

X ray it

With your teeth is the most common way. Can't say I recommend it, though...

Teeth work everytime!

This can be tricky without an X Ray.

Best thing to do is get the best dental insurance you can afford. Those pellets are HARD!

You realize that a magnet is attracted to tss

I don't eat the necks ... LOL... no reason for TSS to be in the meat, need to aim better...

Those hand held metal detectors (pointer) work....way better than the tooth. Good investment...

You ain't wrong.  Works every time.

The end result will cost a fellow more than 100 rounds of 10 gauge TSS loads, too.

I've seen me do it.

What brand are you using

I stopped at a shop last week, had a #9 tss shot in a small cube of raw meat. A new Garret would not pick it up. Put 3 pellets together on a wooden table, wouldn't detect them either.
That was disappointing.

I had some #9's that a good magnet wouldn't pick up. They looked the same and weighed the same on a grain scale. I kept them separate and they patterned/performed the same as magnetic tss.

It was a very small percentage from the same batch the magnet wouldn't pick up

This is the deal that makes me a little nervous with tss. I know waterfowl hunters that grind their breast to make sausage and the disk catch the pellets. That said a tss pellet is a lot smaller then steel so I don't know if that would work.

I cube, then grind my goose meat twice and some pellets get past inspection and the grinder. TSS may be harder than steel, but your teeth won't know the difference when you bite down hard.
