I shot two hens with a .30-06 a few years back. They were pissing me off around my deer stand, making a ruckus and just generally being irritating. So I shot them.

Can you post some patterns of the smaller gauge shells?

eric the TSS is denser that means less of it weighs more than many other metals

:lol::lol::lol:

ERIC WANTS TO KNOW WHAT THE MAXIMUM PAYLOAD IN A SHOTGUN SHELL IS BEFORE ITS DANGEROUS (IN OUNCES)
tell him that it doesn't take up as much space in the hull so you have to uses spacers, it's density is higher than lead so it takes up less room


:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Even though I keep getting trolled, I still want to know this.

I don't know what the max load would be, you'd have to work it up and have a pressure gun to know, as you add weight the velocity would have to drop to keep safe pressure. 3 ounces at 6 or 700 fps maybe?

Hows abouts 4 ounces at 1500fps? Gotta be enough room in 3.5 for it:lol:

I just want a wall of 9 shot to go through the air so I can start shooting from the hip.

20 lbs of #12 TSS at 2500 fps would be a badass punt gun.

I've always wondered why the never made a DU buckshot round for the howitzer cannons, or any 20/30/40mm rounds. I'm not sure of the density of it, but I know it fucks shit up in the 30mm API rounds.

I suspect because of the range. A howitzer is for indirect fire, and not anti-personnel. If they get close enough to a howitzer for that to do any good, you've got problems.

105 is just a round. You can make it whatever you want it to be. I know its impractical, but it would be awesome to see a gunship make it rain DU over a bunch of assholes.

For me, nothing compares to the Magnum Blend shells. I have never gotten patterns like I do
with them.

Buddy's kid whacked a turkey at 45 yards with TSS 9's this spring...found one pellet under the skin on the off side after transversing the on-side breast, the breast bone, and the offside breast.

With a #9.



At 45 yards.


TSS is sick.
