[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5315009, member: 1409"] There are actually several good reasons. 1) You can get more consistent, more dense patterns with a [I]LIGHTER[/I] payload, which can mean significantly less recoil in something like a Mossberg 835. 2) You can use a more open choke, giving greater margin of error for closer-range shots (long range as well), while either preserving or extending range. 3) For some, it is to increase range over copper-plated lead, even in a 12 gauge. 4) Using TSS for turkey hunting doesn't necessarily cost much more than using "cheaper" lead loads. This is in the context of our total turkey hunting expenses, and only firing 3 to 6 rounds or so each spring. Spending a few extra dollars on a few rounds that provide better odds seems reasonable. If I want to save a few dollars, I'll cut out something else. Seriously, one meal in a restaurant, once a year is about all we're talking? [/QUOTE]
