I am gonna make the switch over to the 20 in the next few weeks but man I am leary about it. I see all of you all talking about it so I guess I will try it out. Gotta find the right choke and shells.

TSS = Tungsten Super Shot

The shot is made of Tungsten instead of Lead. Tungsten is much more dense and heavier for the same size shot. The advantage is you can shoot something like #9's and have the same (or more) killing power than 4/5/6/7's. So, you get a much more dense shot pattern.

In the past, the only way to shoot it is to hand load it. This year some manufacturers are offering TSS in factory loads. It's more expensive than lead - but it's not like you're going to be shooting 50 shells a year.

Making the leap this year with #9 Apex on my son's mossberg super bantam with the camoclad wrap on it I did last year.

I've been hunting with a 20 gauge nearly 30 years now.

Waiting on Whiskey to show his turkey head masher.....

I don't have Roost's photo skills, but here's last year's gun of choice.

Franchi Affinity 20ga 26" barrel with Fastfire on a Speedbead Mount.

Seems like ol Roost1 should have a few more 20ga guns to post.

I'm working on an 870 Youth I bought today.
