Tss buckshot

[derbyacresbob]

Run that at 1650 fps and see what it gives please sir.

1650 fps TSS Number 4 buck gets 10.54 " of gel penetration at 91.0 yards.

TSS Number 4 Buck's pattern will fail way sooner than the shot will run out of penetration. With so few pellets in a TSS number 4 buck load the 1250 fps load will give you all the penetration you need at 50.9 yards and less. With TSS 4 buck the pattern at 50 yards may not be that great.

My Beretta 3-1/2" has some grooves and scrathes in the barrel from shooting TSS #2, #3 and #4 shot at 1300 fps in BPI TPS wads with Mylar wraps.

18g/cc Tungsten shot is much harder than the steel that is used to make shotgun barrels.

It seems like I remember seeing a warning from a choke tube company about not using steel shot bigger than BBB and not faster than 1600 fps

That's why I use Carlson chokes, rated for any shot and any speed.

For any Beretta without Mobil chokes, and then at your or risk, nothing tighter than mod factory. After market are all over the place but most say nothing larger than 2 for a full, BB from a mod and nothing ever faster than 1500.

Not sure that’s true in Beretta. Is for browning…. But pretty sure at least the cremator has restrictions out of other than Mobil chokes in a beretta.

Already talked to carlsons chokes before I ever loaded the first round with tss. All of their chokes made for beretta are rated for any shot type at any speed.

I have a full set of carlson extended sporting chokes and a full set of extended cremator chokes.

Dont intend to use the buckshot through the cremator chokes just the sporting chokes.

My TSS #2, #3 and #4 shot coyote loads pattern pretty tight throuh my Carlson' Extended Sporting Clays Modified choke.

My TSS #2, #3 and #4 shot coyote loads pattern pretty tight throuh my Carlson' Extended Sporting Clays Modified choke.

I went did 5 shots each at 45 yards this afternoon through a skeet, LM,M,IM carlson plus 5 rounds through a carlsons MR and LR cremator choke.

The sporting chokes pattern was absolutely horrible.

But to my surprise the cremator chokes were much better, with the LR cremator that is a IM constriction throwing at 100% pattern inside a 8 inch circle at 45 yards.

These shots were taken standing and free handed. Didnt take pics, was in a rush.

Tommorw after work I will have more free time and will set up the shooting bench at a 45 yards and really test it out.

This was the 1 once load of number 4 tss buckshot. Will also test the 1 1/4 once loads this week with all the chokes. That load is pressure tested at 1450fps. The 1 once load is at 1650 fps.

Each five shots the choke and barrel was che led for any damage and there Is zero damage done to them by the shot. Will continue to check it each five shots till I'm done testing.

For thos wondering. Carlson chokes state no steel shot bigger then BB or faster then 1550fps through the full and extra full choke. Any constriction more open then full can use any shot type at any speed. It's on the packaging and it's also what the nice lady at Carlson's told me as well.

You recovering the shot?

I did recover a few. Didnt feel like digging them all out tonight.

Found 3 of them and you cant tell they have ever been fired from a gun. They look just as good as when I loaded them this weekend.

What KPY Shotshell Ballistics shows for 1250 fps TSS Number 4 Buck is pretty impressive. I use 3.70" of penetration in 20% ballistic gel for what I want for hunting coyotes.

1250 fps TSS Number 4 buck gets 10.54 " of gel penetration at 50.9 yards.

That sounds like a hammer yote load
