[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4891722, member: 2805"] I dunno... nice to have the 'insurance just in case. My birds were at 13y, 28y, 40y, 30y, and 15y. Ethans were at 25y and 40y. Friends were at 10y and 15y. I had zero reservations about shooting my Tom at 40y (the second of a double after the first bird was shot by a friend at 10y), and i had zero reservations about Ethan shooting his second bird at 40y (would have come to 15y, but was about to go between us and some cattle, so he needed to go while we had a safe shot). I haven't shot enough of the 13g/cc stuff out of the 20g gauge to have that kind of confidence the TSS gives me. That being said, 40y is my max. In fact, we passed the 2nd bird Ethan shot the day before because he hung up at 45y before easing off. I wish I could just chamber a LB XR lead, and have the tss as a backup if there was any way possible to cycle the first shell out without spooking him if the bird is hung up beyond 30 yds. I don't know how much tungsten there is out there in the earth, but as popular as it has become and as effective as it is, I hope we don't end up with a shortage in the future!
