I'd hate to go out on the porch with my last memories of shooting a cheap made childs gun stuffed with #9 magic pixie dust....

That is almost as bad as having turkey shooting memories of shooting turkey out of an enclosed blind with decoys sitting out front thinking you're a turkey hunter.

Coosa sounds like you missed the weight specks of the TSS versus LEAD SHOT that I posted....

You do know that at ranges of 15 to 30 or 35 yards you could do the same thing with 7 lead shot for a lot less money.....

A #7 lead pellet weighs more than a #9 TSS....that is just a fact that TSS promoters go nutts over when questioned about it.....density it's all about density....

Gil even made up a new imaginary thing called
"energy density".

Here's a link to a chart that shows the number of pellets per ounce of shot of various material:

http://www.tungstensupershots.com/viewtopic.php?t=7

This chart shows 254 pellets in an ounce of #8 tss, while there are 222 in an ounce of #6 lead. Lead #7 has 295. I don't see an issue with my statement that #8 tss is about the same weight as a 6.4 lead pellet.

My memories of the past turkey season are all good; I fired 5 shots and killed 5 turkeys. All of them were instantly dead. Can't ask for more than that from your equipment. If this turns out to be my last gobbler, I've still had a blessed life. My turkey gun was not very expensive, but I don't think it could be called a child's toy. Best of luck to all the turkey hunters on here.

Hey all, this thread reminded me of a guy who used to, or still does have an Outdoors Program. His name is Wayne Pearson and he claimed that he shot Pheasants using a .410 and #9 shot. Okay, sure! Anyway, the kicker with this story is rather "interesting". He claimed that he had an individual reload these killer shells for him. Okay, fine. But according to Wayne, the guy would individually pound/shape each shot into the shape of a football to make them more effective.

I guess that guy had a lot of time on his hands!

Just my contribution to this thread.

Best,

Greg
