It has been mentioned on here that Federal is planning to offer TSS. I looked at their current website and don't see it mentioned. Does anyone know any more about the status?
You don't want to go discussing TSS on old gobbler,,,,he don't take to that stuff
Do yourself a favor and skip the ammo companies. Just roll your own. Contact Hawglips on here and you will be set up in no time.
Email Federal and ask
so not turkey related, but is TSS approved as non toxic by the US FWS for use as waterfowl shot?
Take this with a grain of salt. It's subject to change.
Federal-In the Flight Control Wad 20ga and 12ga-It's the hardest kicking shell I have ever shot in my life. NOT FOR ME
Nitro-Ray is working out loads now. Will offer 410 to 10ga. Shot some of the test loads. Has a 20ga 7/9 duplex
Apex-Don't know anything about them
JEBS-Working out loads now. Will also make TSS chokes. I hear they will offer a 410 gun of some kind. Should be getting a 410 choke from Bobby this week
I'll stick with Hal and load my own.
Yes it is!! I don’t even turkey hunt. I got into loading tss for duck hunting with my 28 gauge.
Well we loaded some 3” 410’s with TSS and we weren’t even trying to get turkey type patterns. We loaded 9-1/2’s and shot them through a Muller U4 and a Muller U3 choke at 40yds. I would not have hesitated to shoot a turkey at 50+ yds with that setup. It be like throwing a 10” castnet on whatever your shooting at. Hahaha
Ill have to check it out, I want to start doing all my duck hunting with a 20 gauge. That includes divers hence the 20 gauge.
I'd shoot hawglips .410 load 50-60 yards with no hesitation.
I finally got a response from Federal "Should see in stores in February/March). I didn't ask what gauges or other details and they didn't offer. I'm convinced the best way to go is with Hawglips and roll your own. That way you're not limited to whatever they decide to offer.
I’ll take my 1oz 28 gauge tss 9-1/2 loads and outkill any 12 gauge gun there is with any size steel or any legal waterfowl load. Until you see what this stuff is capable of doing, it’s hard to comprehend just how lethal it is. If it was more affordable, I honestly believe the 12 gauge shotgun would go the way of the 10 gauge and the 20 would be king.
It’s very expensive and I don’t shoot it every trip but if I’d been born rich instead of good looking, I’d have a pallet of that stuff sitting in my basement waiting to be loaded
I saw where it was $23 bucks a box, that isnt to bad. Its as cheap as the all hevi loads are..........
No way that’s possible if it’s 18g/cc tungsten like I load. Box of 25 would run ~$75.
The commercial waterfowl loads you see excluding the Kent tungsten matrix, that are promoted as being “tungsten” is actually steel coated with a tungsten powder. Which is basically like putting Lamborghini wheels on on a Prius. Lol
Well that was a for a box of 10 so it seems to be about that price. The all hevi loads run about the same for a box of 10 from what I see

a box of 10 hevi-shot are $45+ dollars
