[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5281946, member: 2805"] I shot 2oz #5 lead out of my 10g gauge for 2 decades... its crazy deadly and accounted for around 100 birds. That being said, about 1 out of 8 to 10 slam dunk kill shots with the 10g the bird got away. Not because the lead didn't have the killing power at reasonable distances, but just because the head and neck slipped through the pattern.... that won't happen with properly choked #9 TSS. There just isn't any way you arent going to get at least a dozen pellets in the brain or spinal cord at 40y and in with the pattern density TSS throws with 1.5 oz. It's that good, it really is. If you are shooting at reasonable distances (40y and in), TSS is FAR more ethical due to fewer crippling losses. Pull the trigger, punch the tag. No more shooting at 6 birds to get a 4 bird limit like happened with lead. Again, this is at reasonable distances (40y and in)... beyond that TSS has the penetration to kill at 70 or even 80 yards, but the lack of pattern density is going to result in just as many crippling losses as kills... which just isn't ethical.
