Most affordable TSS I’ve found

[Fred@Exterra]

I shot $14 worth of 410 shotgun shells last year on turkeys… I also spent $5k on gas, tags, food, gear, and little sausage patties that we call meat cookies.

I’m just kidding… I didn’t buy TSS… Vince loads them for the whole company. You should see the look on his face when I blow thru a half a box on ground squirrels.

Five more weeks, I can’t wait.


On a side note. The scrap dealers are calling all the machine shops & buying scrap carbide for $42 a pound… so don’t expect TSS to go down anytime soon.

Pay attention, Rokslide bunch spends a lot of money. Take a look at the Bourbon thread , that one kills me. I say spend it if you got it and you’re not taking food out of your kids mouths. Just shoot a few rounds of TSS a year. Worth it to me… Joe

F dem kids!

I didn’t read this entire thread so this light have even suggested but if you’re running 12 ga don’t waste your money on TSS. Longbeard XRs are fantastic and way way cheaper. I’ve killed a pile with them.

LBXR does have a reputation for killing turkeys. But I did shoot a 3.5” LBXR #5 against 2 different brands of TSS and there’s no denying LBXR is no match for TSS @40 & 50 yards.
Franchi intensity 3.5 / Jebs headhunter .660
50 yards 10” circle
Federal heavyweight 3” 1.75oz #9 = 74 hits
Hevi-18 3” 2oz #9 = 152 hits
LBXR 3.5” #5 = so underwhelming I didn’t even count the pellets.

I’m sure with the right choke you can get amazing results at those ranges with LBXR but TSS is the easy button & you can still get decent patterns at 15 yards instead of shooting a laser beam.

I’ve never ordered from there, but I’ve known the owner (Derrick) for several decades. He’s a good dude & the company (Horizon Firearms/ Kasper Industries) is very reputable.

I think some of ya’ll just need to learn how to hunt instead.

Wait until they make rounds that shoot 100 yards out.

It’s called 223 Remington. Roksliders do love their 223s don’t they??

Taken several with a .22 Hornet and a few with a Ruger "Single Six" w/ .22 Mag cylinder (9" bbl) and a scoped S&W M48 w/8 3/8" bbl.
Oklahoma "Spring Turkey" is shotgun/archery only!
I have 2 AR's in .223 Wylde, but "NO!", I don't really "like" them. It's more ammo availability rather than cartridge desire.

I would, however, LOVE to have another .22 Hornet!
I took a wider variety of game and vermin with it than any other caliber I've owned. Including a .22LR!

Man I'd be nervous of other hunters in an area where you can turkey hunt with a rifle.

I’m nervous of other hunters where you CANT turkey hunt with a rifle! I snapped that pic yesterday of a longbeard that was showing off while I was fishing. Shotgun & archery only for me & my turkey hunting endeavors

Try 3 in longbeards. They usually will pattern better than 3.5 inch.

For lead tho longbeards hold their pattern way further than any other load. They can kill further than I have ever shot. I looked back and I killed 8 birds with long beards and never had an issue.

Yeah you’re not going to get the wow factor from patterning that TSS gives simply because of the pellet count being so much higher on TSS.

I run a 20 now with TSS and you’re right, the patterns are scary. So I can’t blame you for wanting to go that route.

Exactly why it was banned in AZ years ago. A young girl was killed by another hunter with a rifle while she was walking beside her father who was carrying a dead bird.

My youngest had a mentor on the job that meant the world to the kid.
He was turkey hunting in New Mexico with a married couple. The husband ended up killing him....with a shotgun!
It isn't the gun, it's a careless shooter!

I know Horizon Firearms, Stiller Actions, and Iota Stocks are Legit, and theyre all owned by the same! I just ran across this other company of theirs as I was checking out their rifles. Ill deffinitley be ordering some TSS from them tonight!

As we approach turkey season 26’, and as a sub gauge tss convert of about 3 years the price hike has been on my mind a lot.

TSS in a 20 > lead in 12 in performance. No denying that in my mind. But people killed a lot of turkeys before TSS was around with lead shot. LBXR’s have been mentioned a bunch as an alternative.

I hand load my own shells and I realistically only shoot 5-6 rounds a year if I’m on a really hot streak. I have a shit ton of components to load for a bit. But my shot is getting a bit low. So I think about the price a bit differently.

This is mostly thinking ahead to next spring, but if I could get my hands on some shot and even if it’s 100 a pound I would think long and hard on it, I just like carrying a 20 too much and the results are that good. My setup is more loose, and I really am not trying to shoot past 40 if I can help it. So I enjoy the stopping power.

BUT, I can foresee a future scenario where the supply and demand for tungsten in the coming years make it almost impossible for anybody to get their hands on shot. Or you can get it but 200 dollars a pound? 300 dollars a pound? I can see that future being a real possibility. In that scenario, I am probs priced out as a hand loader. I will be in the woods with a 12 gauge and 3 in longboard XR’s. I killed several with that setup in the past. I like turkey hunting too much.

Here’s hoping I’m wrong l, but that’s my 2 cents

I suspect we'll see increasing prices for another year or so, then they'll start coming down. President Trump's Critical Mineral Stockpile should be including it, and they're moving fast on expediting permits for mining and refining operations as well.

Stock piled TSS years ago at $27-$32 a pound. I’ve got 70-80 pounds left.
