[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 3977388, member: 131"] Not saying it is better per se, but it has it's advantages as Wes has pointed out. In a nutshell, you can load 1 5/8 oz of TSS #9s ([i]585 perfectly round dense as h*ll spheres (pellets)[/i]), and you can shoot it in a lightweight 20 gauge and kill turkeys as far as you need to shoot them [i](out to 60 if need be, but I'm not advocating that[/i]). Furthermore, TSS does not have to "choked" down like HEVI, Nitros, etc, as it does not deform and stays together uniformly for every bit of 60 yards, if not further. As one guy put it, "the load will kill as far as the pattern will stay together", which it does better than lead or HEVI. Because it does not have to be choked down, it has more "forgiveness" at the closer ranges in case the shooter accidentally pulls ([i]it happens[/i]), or the turkey bobs his head, thus decreasing the odds of a miss at close ranges ([i]< 20 yards[/i]).
