These are some patterns from a couple of days ago.... 2 3/4" TSS 1 3/4 oz #9's at 30, 40, and 50 yds....Shot thru a Benelli M-2 20 gauge with standard Benelli full choke.
I've had good patterns with 3" 1 1/4 oz Hevi-Shot # 6's too....Again, thru a standard full choke.
ps....This look is thru the reverse side of shot.

Drew,
I actually shot at the eyeball.....Which would be high for me....I normally shoot at the low end of the wattle.

X2 Federal TSS non toxic is the best
From reviews. Longest distances.
Hevi shot is next.
Bismuth is third.
Bismuth is better than steel but
Shy under lead. But safe with old shotguns.
You mileage will very.

Lee,
My friend Phil who reloads these TSS loads talked about these wads....They're a special blend of plastic, so the shot does not burn thru....Again, the little more open choke seemed to pattern better.
This pattern was at 40 yds with 2 oz. of TSS 9's ...Jellyhead choke, Benelli M-2, 12 gauge gun.

Picked these up at Fine Firearms yesterday. Plenty in stock!
What ever is rolling around the floor board of the truck at the time....dumb yardbirds..
Thanks guys.
Woooww I found a couple of boxes of Federal TSS #7, 20ga 3" 1.5 OZ...for 29.99 plus Tax for 5 Shells!....I guess one can't afford to miss a shot...I mean literally!
And pattering the shotgun is another 3 shells or so..ay caramba.
I called another shop and they recommended size 2 shot!...what da heck? It never amazes me.
Are there any more affordable options? I know you pay for quality.

There is Hevi-13's (5 or 6's), and Hevi-Shot Blend (5, 6,7)….The price will be similar to TSS....Bass Pro....$24.99
Steel duck loads are legal (7/8 oz), but are you willing to take the chance on wounding a bird, because you wanted to save a few bucks?
ps....Don't shoot #2....Even if you could find it....You're shooting at the head & neck.
Get a pellet gun. Less than a nickel per shot.
I bought these and had them sent to Duncan’s: https://www.rogerssportinggoods.com...yweight-turkey-shotshells-20ga-3-1-1-2oz.html
