[QUOTE="Rakkin6, post: 5530058, member: 23863"] So I am having trouble understanding the argument here. A 3" #6 1 7/8 ounce Winchester Longbeard has about 384 pellets in it. Each peer weighs in at about 11g/cc leaving the gun at 1050 fps. A 20 gauge 3" 1 5/8 ounce of #9 has roughly 590 pellets. Each pellet weighs 18g/cc leaving the barrel at about 1175 FPS. So not sure how ballistically a 12 gauge is superior. The TSS has more pellets, heavier and traveling faster. And watching some videos you can see the TSS penetrates farther than lead. Now I am no knocking lead and would shoot a longbeard xr in a heartbeat. But it is not ballistically superior to TSS. [/QUOTE]
