I have a thing for vintage singles. I have a couple sitting in the rack needing minor restoration. I hope to get to them this spring. I always end up selling them, but I keep buying them too.

SKB - start a thread for vintage singles and post a few pictures. I'd like to see them. I know there are nice ones out there, but I only see the cheapest most abused ones at gun shows or used gun racks (except for high-end trap guns that are not personally interesting).

Only one question: what is a .410TSS? Its a very hard pellet....here's the pellet weights. A TSS 9's pellet weighs 1.2grs. and 9.5's TSS weighs 1gr. They claim the #9 TSS is as effective as a #4 lead.... A lead #4 pellet weighs 3.30 grains....a lead #7 shot weighs 1.50 grains....both substantially more weight than the smaller TSS pellet. Energy is figured by computing weight and velocity. There is no way a #9 TSS pellet weighing a third of a #4 lead can have more energy than a lead #4 shot moving at the same velocity.....fact is a lead #7 has more energy than a TSS #9 size shot moving at equal velocity. The TSS bOys like to talk in ccs... They will avoid talking about pellet weights at all cost. Here a cc...there a cc...everywhere a cc... ccs on the brAin. No one wants to talk about pellet weights...

You want a trophy...pm me your address
I'll engrave it for you.
"Doublegun wAsh women of the year...and he knew Neil Cost who made box calls and hunted with pot calls". I knew Neil Cost and you are no Neil Cost. Neil gave me a small slate, not in a pot, but more of a rounded triangle unmounted piece of slate that he anchored into a hip bone with the slate cupped in his hand. The striker was a corncob with the wingbone of a snow goose. It was a soft call. Most folks I know hunt with more than one type of call. Don't you?

I knew him too.
I've never been in any competition with his calls....it would be like comparing my Purdey to his Yildiz

No one wants to talk about pellet weights... If a lighter shot pellet penetrates just as deep into the central nervous system in a turkey's neck, weight is irrelevant, if sufficiently heavy enough (and dense enough) to fully penetrate bone and nerve tissue with sufficient energy to throw the switch. Lead 6's, 7.5's kill turkeys just as dead as lead 2's or 4's and so does TSS shot in various sizes AND weights. Good news. Federal has discovered a material denser than depleted uranium or tungsten. Depleted Frankcranium (its normal state). Once Ballistic Engineers learn how to handle it without a serious drop in IQ, it'll be on the market. You better get more lost if that is possible.

 I shot these today it was a little windy and I shot these targets standing off a shooting stick. It's a lowly Remington Wingmaster Magnum. Pretty light weigh gun even an old wAsh women should be able to tote one of these... It's a left hand gun with a 26" Remchoke barrel with a Patternmaster Code Black Goose tube about a .710 constriction....3" Winchester Longbeard 1&3/4 oz of #4 shot $19 for 10 shells....laser range 40, 30 and 20 yards...(left to right)...I know it's probably not enough pellets to suit you fAiry dust boys but plenty good enough to kill a bird as dumb as a turkey....and I shouldn't be picking a lot of dust sized pellets out of my meat. Is that not enough pellets to satisfy your desires ?

The price will skyrocket...Geo Thats what Jag thought about his beanie baby collection. Last I heard hes a greeter at Wally World in Gary, Indiana. This thread is beginning to sound like the redneck version of 8 Mile. ___________________________ He dont wanna battle, hes shook Cause aint no such things as half-way crooks.

How can you be so sure my love.... Back when I worried about how many pellets were in 10 inch circle I shot turkeys with a mixed load of 4x5x7 hevi shot and saw lots of small shot between the hide and meat.
