I haven't shot a 10 in a few years but I did a lot of testing when I did and the TPS was hands down the best. The PR was fine but the data for it always showed it to be a higher pressure wad. The rsi is just garbage with inconsistent velocity due to gas seal failure, the drunken monkey wad slitting, flashing that had to be trimmed off; thick on one side thin on the other wad petals. It amazes me so many guys use them.

Concur. TPS is my go to wad for just about everything. I also like the CSD wad for 12 gauge solely because it’s just a little shorter oal and fits better in a 2-3/4 hull and bulky steel powder. The 2-3/4 TPS wad is a perfect fit for RSI 131 and most other loads that call for a 3 inch hull.

Try the TPS 41mm in a 2 3/4 hull with steel. Perfect fit, no trimming or fillers unless you're duplexing steel and tss

??? I shoot a bunch of roll crimps. The OSC ends up about 20 yards out front.

Both excellent. Don’t forego RSI wads either. TPS is my go to. RSI pattern great but just get destroyed so not a good wad to use to gauge how you’re doing wrt pressure. PR wads are the thickest and stiffest and “maybe” keep shot in them longer as a result? Frankly get what’s on sale and load to TPS data and you can’t go wrong.
I've had large pellets burn thru the petals on Sam 1 cups, not so with TPS. Advisable to use a mylar wrap inside the Sam1 cup. Also, I've had to use
1 1/2 grain more Steel powder in the RSI cup to achieve similar velocities.

I dislike TPS specifically due to unjustified unavailability.
