I guess if I did bite the bullet and spend the money on these expensive shells, they would last me a while thanks to Michigan's ridiculous 1-bird limit.

Ouch. I hate only getting to kill two a year in MD.
x2 in Missouri and 1 would be real tuff!

I load my own and it doesn't matter what the market does because I have enough components to load around 500 shells give or take. Happy happy happy.

When I turkey hunt I use a DSD decoy

Thought about it then decided that this was just the same Ol argument I had with using 2 shot from a new angle. I believe hunters who roll their own most likely carry a respect and sense of responsibility with them BUT I believe these companies that will now offer TSS by mail for anyone with the $$$ is encouraging SOME to chase the 50+yd turkey shooter... which like #2's will likely increase collateral wounding as patterns open up at range. Not trying to offend or make enemies, my opinion. I've made Long shots and I've missed long shots but over my last 32yrs turkey chasing the mark I measure my success on isn't how far he was but was he killed clean at 25-35yds.

I am currently on the fence, but I probably will.

That means "yes" from a fella who likes to pattern as much as you do... #9s are gonna blow your mind :)


And to answer the OPs question, I did last year and ain't looking back.

Gimme $1,000.00 worth of tss and a $100 gun any day and I'm happy. As long as I can shoot it, I won't shoot anything else.

this has some truth to it but also is wrong. there will always be people chasing the extreme distance shots, but sometimes people are just looking for a great pattern. For example, with a 20gauge for recoil sensitive people or youths it will be easy to get a great pattern with basically any model shotgun with any type turkey choke using #7 or #9 loads. No more spending crazy dollars on new guns or chokes and finding the right combo. Simply grab a shotgun, throw a full choke on it...put some tss#9s in the chamber and pattern for POA/POI. The patterns will almost certainly be dense enough to take a bird inside 40 yards.

Missouri has a shot size of no larger than number 2 shot. lead was mainly used at  the time this came in effect. The regulations were for safety in the turkey woods and was said to cause fatalities  . I would wonder what size tss would have the same energy?
I'm just guessing 7.5 would be close to 2 shot in Tss

Can I get #2 TSS?
What would be my range then?
