Great info and video.got a question.im working on this now and will send it to bpi for testing.im going to load 1oz tss 1/4 oz #4 steel as filler for cost.how many less felts and what do you think it will do to fps and psi.thank you so much.20ga overshot card in the video?
Breakdown and go get a Stevens 301 20 gauge. It comes with extra full choke tube and go buy Carlson's Cyl. thru Full and Rifled choke tubes. The Cyl. thru Full you can shoot steel shot. They all work great.
I shot a 2 3/4 Apex #9 the other day at what turned out to be 55 yards and was impressed with what it did. Of course, if I am shooting at a turkey at 50 yards, it is probably because I missed him at about 25 or 30. 😂 Nice to know I have a little wiggle room though.
What's your opinion on 20/28 powder considering I shoot a 20 bore and am thinking of switching to 28 bore for clays, the low pressure appeals to me because I like the older sxs I think I'm right in a straight walled hull would be better
Great data. Ill tell ya what tho 1.25 ounces is a ton for waterfowl. I load and shoot .875 with no buffer out of a carlsons mid range at 1350ish fps. It'll throw 97 or 98% patterns inside 30" at 40 yards. #6.5 would be insane overkill. The #7 i shoot will pass all the way through a big goose at 70 yards. 9 shot would be perfect for ducks.
I've had a M3020 since it was released. It's been a great gun; squirrels, rabbits, crows, ducks, geese and turkey hunt with mine. Going to load up some light TSS, 1oz and these 1 1/4oz for turkey hunting this year. Bad shoulder so I need something with less thump than the 1 3/8 oz Apex I used last year.
great load data, excellent video
Great video! I just got on the 20 gauge bandwagon this year! I’m going after turkeys with mine! Love the videos!
Just got some tss from breaking down some shells gonna use this recipe thanks as always man
Caleb Herridge
Nice
This is incredible! This is literally my dream load for duck! Thank you very much brother man!
Thanks for watching man
How about a recipe for a 3" 20 ga., 15/8 oz. #9 TSS?

I’m not sure I’ve never loaded anything like that
Great staff buddy 👍 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks
Love my Maverick 88 and my Lee Loadalls. Great vid man.
Thanks Matt

That’s probably the gun I’d go with
The ONLY choke manufacturer I know about that allows steel shot tighter than modified is Briley. I may be wrong, but TSS is tungsten steel shot.
Tss means tungsten super shot, nothing to do with steel actually. It’s fine for Turkey chokes because usually people use sizes like #9 which is tiny.
Revisiting this video, how would you go about bringing this down to 1 oz and roll crimping?
You’d have to email bpi about that
Where do you get your load data? Thanks for sharing.
This comes right from ballistics products page for tps wad data
Yes !

What was the payload weight? I know they have some crazy loads.
@@theshotgunscientists 1 3/8.
awesome job
Thanks
great info, could you use the bp2090 wad instead w/same data?
You’d have to ask ballistic products but I’m sure you can
Does it matter what kind of buffer you use?
Yes if using other brands but bpi buffer is interchangeable as far as I can tell.
Full choke is money for tss!!!!!
Generally for turkey hunting you want an extra full but a full works too

I’ve never been able to get any of that powder so I’ve never used it
What powder do you prefer Longshot or Lil Gun in 1.5 oz buckshot loads in the 12 ga and 20 ga?
Lil gun would have to be used in 20 gauge but longshot is plenty capable for 12.
Where can i find some tss load data for 20g and 12g ?
Google tps wad data click on the ballistic products site there are a few good ones there
@theshotgunscientists I was on there website seen one book with tss data others are unclear wasn't sure if they were any good
Is it ok to substitute pellet size with TSS load data? Something like #2 - BB TSS in this same load?
Pellet size doesn’t matter it’s all about the payload weight. Bigger pellets do take up more volume if going from like a 9 to a 4 for example.
Nice!
Thanks man

I can tell you #7 will not pass through a goose at 70 yards.
@@saltcreekammo the geese I've killed this year beg to differ.
You need a Stoeger in 20ga
It would be nice yeah

Could you roll crimp this load?
You can roll crimp any fold crimp load but not the other way around
