figgy Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I know what your getting at it's just the way you worded it. You can't believe how such a small quantity can weigh so much. A jar of mercury is much like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 No need for tiny tss shot as steel will work at the same distance for ducks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchughcb Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 55 yards is a long way using steel shot in a 20 bore in my experience. You must be a great duck hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 55 yards is easy doable with steel, just need the right size shot carts. But my comment still stands #9 TSS isn't needed for ducks unless your really pushing the range then a bigger size TSS is required. Most will shoot ducks at no more than 40 yards.

Today i recovered several B&P wad uaed in normal lead clay target cartidges that had been replaced with TSS 18 #9. None had the walls cut through. They looked like a normal lead wad after firing. Could you clarify the issue with using the B&P wads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a rule, lead wads are not up to the job with harder shot types. You may well get away with it with smaller, more "fluid' shot sizes.

Have you measured the weight or thickness of comparable wads to understand what differences there are in either wall thickness or density or written to B&P, Eley, Gamebore, GB , NSI or Winchester to confirm what you are saying?

TSS us less of a problem, TPS wads are designed to handle non toxic shot up to large lettered shot such as T and BBB etc so us very thick where individual pellets can put a lot of force onto one area of the wad wall. No 7 and no 9 tungsten due to small size do not penetrate wad wall as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only the wad thickness to think about using tss as the small shot size is easy capable of squeezing through the wad slits and coming into contact with the barrel hence why using mylar is advised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 You can buy pre cut strips of mylar. I'd rather just use a different wad rated for the shot. Can understand if you already have a lot of wads you want to use up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes just cutting up strips of crisp bags. Its cheap and available. I just wash and dry first to get oil off it.

Lloyd90 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Very seriously considering buying a 410 and some reloading gear. I wonder how a moderated 410 would work with TSS shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Same as using other steel cartridges Lloyd. If it contacts the mod it would damage it. Edited January 18, 2021 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
