Dave at kelton Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I am not sure how many people have played with TSS. I thought it might interest a few to know about my recent pattern test in the 28 bore. I load 24 gms of No7 using a plastic wad lined with a split .410:case and propelled with Lil Gun powder. At the pattern plate yesterday using a Yildiz with half choke it printed 130 pellets on a 30” card at just under 50yds. This is just devastating for use on geese if you put them in the pattern…photo below. That is about 90% or more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianWildfowler Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Dave, I load 25 grams of TSS 8 in the 28 bore at subsonic speeds and normal velocity. Both are incredible at geese and give a dense pattern. Even at the slower speed they are lethal. I think size 7 would be about optimal for the subsonic. I use mylar wrap.

On a different note - would you say the pattern is skewed to the right…? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is slightly but given density it doesn’t concern me ….unless of course the goose is flying right to left 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has advantage of thicker plastic wad walls at top. Edited January 9 by Stonepark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
