Eating TSS ammo

[Short Track]

Eating my Turkey legs. Cooked them over night in a crock pot. 200 degrees, very very tender. Everything is tender except the TSS. My teeth are NOT happy .......

How many pellets did you bite down on or find in the cooked bird?

Garrett Pin Pointer. Pricey but cheaper than a crown.

I never knew or considered. I’ve been thinking about this alot lately since I’ve been eating so much bird lately. Always careful and searching when trimming, but always seems I miss one or two. Especially those 9 or 10 TSS’ers!

Seems like a good X-Mas gift too for those who could benefit.

TSS definitely should be #8 pellets and larger. My family refuses to eat wild turkey after I bit on at least 5-10 pellets.

The family eats in slow motion after one of us finds a pellet. Haven’t chomped on TSS … yet

Never had much of an issue chewing on TSS. Most travels through and I am carefull to shoot for the head. Lead on the other hand always seems to stick around.

You have a turkey choke, or full chock ?? I chomped on another TSS pellet last night. My teeth are not happy..

Yes, I use a Turky choke and a 20 gauge.

Maybe you could try Turky Salad. That way you could shred the meet and find any left over pellets.

I heard various things about chokes and TSS ammo. I use a full choke. Others have said Turkey chokes are too tight for TSS. I also use a 20 ga, and the Turkey goes right down. Not even 1 step.

Shoot them in the head and you don't have to worry about it.

Did you ever pattern a shot gun?

Did you ever pattern a shot gun?

Yes. Most people do.

As mentioned above in another post...buy a pin-pointer metal detector. They are pretty cheap on Amazon. I use mine cleaning my waterfowl and upland. Works like a charm plus you can use it as a "I dropped some nails on the lawn."-WW
