I haven't formed an opinion on TSS yet, as this is my first year using it (and a shotgun for quite some time), but I don't know anyone using it to increase their killing distance. The appeal for everyone I know, myself included, is the ability to use a lesser gauge and carry a lighter gun. Thus far, I'm digging how it patterns out of my new little 20 gauge.

In all reality, that is exactly what TSS is doing for the .410, extending the effective killing range which it appears to be doing. With other bigger gauges and the ammo available for them I can’t speak of. But the .410 certainly seems to have gained a lot from the introduction of TSS loads and chokes.

Plus no pulling feathers/pellets from the meat.

Just finished cleaning my kids bird. I had his 20g set up with a factor modified choke with TSS 9’s. Bird was shot at about 30yards.

Lots of holes in the breast meat with this open pattern setup, but they are just pin holes with no blood or feathers where the little pellets passed clean through.

Watch your teeth. TSS doesn't always pass through and man it is easy to crack a tooth on it. It doesn't give like lead. Don't ask me how I know!

This will be my first year using TSS. Bought a 5 pack of Federal #9's 3". Should be a fun year.
