I tried some of this in 2 3/4" 00 buck in my browning bps. So far I haven't been able to get a decent pattern past 25 yards. And even then it's not great. I've used IC, M and F choke tubes, but none seem to be ideal. What choke do you use? I would guess the 3" will do better either way, but I couldn't find any 3" at the time, so I bought 2 3/4".

No choke CYL or IC..Maybe your IC is grabbing the wad?

Fantastic.

I was thinking of trying a cylinder choke next. Hopefully that will help. Thanks for the insight!

Their 3” Magnum Copper Plated 10 Pellet 000 is pretty decent too. Even though the velocity is 125 fps slower than advertised.

If they made it with the Fkight Control Wad I would buy it too!

@SAFARIKIDD - Given any thought to using some Apex Predator TSS 3" shells? They make them in 2's, 4's and BB. Thought it would be good for you seeing as they have a hog on the box.

 

[SAFARIKIDD]

That's good stuff for sure! need them to do that in buckshot!

That's the point. The higher density of the TSS makes it possible to go to smaller shot, get more pellets and knock them down even better.

Tungsten Buck Shot - that is an interesting concept. I wonder how far down in size you could go and still get equivalent knockdown as 00. In addition, you would have way more than the std 9 or 10 pellets of 00 lead. In the way of turkey loads they claim as much knockdown power from #9 tungsten as #5 lead. I honestly believe it’s way more plus a ton more pellets from my experience knocking ole Toms down. A turkey shot with a load of #9 tungsten looks like it got hit by a freight train.

It might be worth a try. I also agree, the flight control wad is something special. I’m a firm believer in it. Combine the two: TSS + Flite Control = dead critters.

I'm currently using Federal Black Cloud TSS 12 bore, 3", BB/7 shot for geese at all ranges and long range ducks. For short range ducks I have some Federal Black Cloud TSS 12 bore, 3" 3/9 shot and some Apex TSS 12 bore, 3", 9 shot.

I've seen a couple big tom turkey taken with Federal Heavyweight TSS 12 bore, 3.5" 7 shot. Last one was spring 2023 shot at 60 yards...

Longest shot I've done is a 70 yard (verified with a laser range finder) on two geese. The first shot was a turkey load and dumped the bird on the bank. Second shot was BB/7 and the bird was injured, I took another shot at 20 yards and it did this to the head of the goose...

For the number of times I go hunting turkey and waterfowl, TSS is worth it to me. Take a look at this thread. There's a lot of info and personal experience in there...
