[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 3971487, member: 1409"] Loading with TSS shot (especially #8 or #9) would be a very effective turkey gun. But overall much more trouble than worth to me. Guess I'm just more into hunting than the nostalgia of the weapon. ;) Personally, at least with the 20 gauge, I'm very happy with the Federal Heavyweight #7's, and handloading with TSS does not provide enough anything extra for me to do it. Others feel differently, with many believing there's more reason to do it with the 20 than the 12 (and if not for those Federal Heavyweight #7's, I'd be among them). The Federal Heavyweight is much closer to TSS than anything else available commercially loaded. IMO, about the only way Federal could improve their offering would be if they made it available in a #7 1/2 shot size, which would provide a slightly denser pattern than the #7's, yet still have downrange penetration comparable to copper-plated #5 lead pellets.
