Which choke for TSS?

[Chris O]

I am thinking of trying some TSS. I shoot a Remington 870 20ga. Which brand and choke size do you guys like?  I currently shoot a kicks choke would this be ok to shoot tss out of I believe it's.565, also what shot size do you prefer in tss? Thanks

Stick with no9 shot.  Try the choke you have.  The Fed loads tend to do the best with the tight constrictions (.555) while Apex and most handloads do better with a little more open.

I shoot Apex 3-1 5/8-9's out of my Mossberg 500 20 gauge with a SumToy .562-5 and get 355-357 in the 10" at 40 yards.
It's a very even and nasty pattern.

I had william build me a .569. Its perfect for me. A nice even pattern with a slightly hot core. Was shooting a IC .555 and it was too hot of a core to my liking. Pellet count was awesome in the 10 but the 20 had some holes in it.

Thanks for the input guys, it does seem that the #9 shot is the most popular.

9's are without a doubt the way to go. More shot in the shell , means better patterns and the retained energy in TSS makes them hit like a dump truck. Very very leathal.

Go with the 9s

I'd try a Carlson 575 or tightwad 570

Killed two in TN this weekend with a 20 gauge 870 and William's choke with my handloaded tss 9s. Gonna be hard to go back to a 12.

Indian Creek and #9s are a hard to beat combination.

just call William and tell him how dead you want them, you will enjoy the conversation!!

8's or 9's will work. I have shot 9 1/2's also. They all work great and kill em dead. 9's will give you a better pellet count than the 8's.

#9s is what you want. I shoot a 575 Carlson's out of mine, and my son shoots a 570 Tightwad out of his. Both shoot great.

I shoot an 870 w/26" bbl and .575 Carlsons. Can't go wrong with that choke and 1-5/8 oz. of 9's.

Shot a bird last week with a 20ga 870 youth using a Carlson's .555 and TSS #9's. Patern's not to tight at 20  and still plenty lethal at 40. Was very impressed.
