[QUOTE="elknturkey, post: 5323823, member: 16297"] It's all thanks to manufacturers for pushing the long ranges and it started before tss. Hevi shot and Winchester were both touting their long range shells years ago. Then you have some moron on social media touting his 70,80,90 yard kill then it becomes gospel to the masses. No different than the guy that use to brag killing one at 50 yards with his #4 lead even though anybody with sense knew it was by a lucky pellet. From my testing 60 yards is about the max limit I'd feel comfortable with based on pattern but I've never tried nor will. A turkeys head is awful small at that distance looking through a red dot and with a bead or rifle sights it's a pray and spray. Then you have to compensate for drop on top of that. Tss has its limitations but too many people are easily swayed and buy into whatever crap the manufacturers or some Joe blow is spewing. [/QUOTE]
