[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 4377904, member: 131"] For sub gauges ([i]28GA, .410, etc[/i]), anything larger than #9 TSS is a waste of space and not needed. #9 shot size and smaller allows the hunter to maximize effective range and pattern density out of sub gauges, thus keeping safe and ethical killing distances the same as you are used to with the big bore guns ([i]if not better[/i]). For a .410, I would load #9, #9.5 or #10, or a blend of them ([b]TSS[/b]) and hunt. One other thing to add: the penetration of TSS 9’s is often equated with lead #4 at 60 yards. 8-) [/QUOTE]
