Dirt cheap 12 ga TSS

[Dblevins]

I figured some of you guys might want in, I bought 2 cases & used the 8/10 blend this spring with great success. For that price you can't go wrong https://www.targetsportsusa.com/federal-heavyweight-tss-flightcontrol-flex-12-gauge-ammo-3-5-8-10-combo-2-1-2oz-ptssx195f810-p-108527.aspx

Wow, could nearly duck hunt with them for that price!

Just check your state laws before you buy. #10 shot may not be legal. Z
Great price.

And Federal has a rebate right now- $5 per box if you buy 2+ boxes.

This is unheard of in the TSS world.  Looks as if most of the manufacturers and sellers are getting a 200% return on investment on this price point.  I'll bet this load would really ROCK your world with a 3 1/2 inch 2 1/2 oz payload but it should put up some INCREDIBILE numbers!!!!  Especially with 10's in the mix!!!

That will do more damage to your shoulder than the turkey's face.

If it were 8x9 I would buy all of it just for the shot, cheaper at that rate than raw shot.

I just have no interest in 10s.

Could cut open, harvest the shot and reload with steel fir waterfowl, would have to have the reload tested though!!!

I noticed more shot hung up in the birds I shot with 9.5 compared to 9, so 10s with so many pellets and seeming to get a lot of fliers I would assume many more hung up in the meat.

10s sure look good on paper though and are probably a good call in .410

And I already aim at the head to minimize shot getting into the body!

I agree, Tempting for pulling the tss for reloading projects.  Keep a few intact in case Bigfoot breaks in!
  I'm mathing ~$30/lb. (Non member) After state tax and rebates...
I don't shoot enough and don't wanna go down that rabbit hole..

This is my point above.  How can this company sell these shells at a 200% loss when you guys that reload are stating that you would buy them JUST to cut them open to salvage the shot?  There is a disconnect here somewhere.

12ga 8x10 guys don't want most likely!

I wonder what the effective range for the #10 shot in these loads is?  Is it even over 50yds?

Does anybody have any direct experience with these loads?  Certainly tempting, but there's a reason they've been on sale for a while.

I know there's some guys on here that know the numbers a lot better than I do, but I was wondering more on what the maximum range of retained energy on #10 TSS shot at 1000-1200fps needed to kill a bird would be?  I think #9 is around +/-75yds so I'm thinking #10 would be 50-55ish??  I wish this was a straight #8 or #9 or a #8/9 duplex load.  I'm nervous about the #10... open country where I hunt I don't get many under 35yd shots.

I killed one this year around 55 steps with it, straight up rolled him.. I'm not sponsored or anything by them so giving you straight up feedback with them.. I seen several die in the 45-50 yard range and we never had to chase any around trying to stomp their necks, I've always used federal 7x9's & honestly I feel like these shells are just as good for 1/3 of the price.. I ordered 2 cases for my my family & a couple buddies to shoot

Thanks for the good feedback.  If you would of told me 30 years ago we would be shooting #10 shot at turkeys I would have said your nuts!!
