Wonderful tools and video. I have loaded TSS since I found it many years ago, but never thought of these tools:-) I develop my own loading data using a pressure trace. It was needed because there was no data back then. Thank you for the video:-)
Thank you for showing the process. I'm thinking of getting into shotshell loading specifically to load tungsten shot and this was helpful to give me an idea of what I'd be in for. I'm thinking tungsten has great self-defense potential. Of course lead buckshot is potent enough, but in theory larger (letter sized) tungsten birdshot penetrates as deeply as buckshot. That would make it more effective since it would have a denser shot pattern. I haven't seen ammo companies explore the concept of premium tungsten defensive ammo yet, but I could try it myself if I handload. I'd certainly do some penetration testing before actually relying on tungsten birdshot to penetrate like lead buckshot. My idea is that maybe T or F tungsten birdshot will penetrate comparably to #1 buckshot. Or something like that. There would definitely be deeper penetration with smaller shot. I've seen no testing, so I may have to load up some shells and and shoot them into ballistics gel myself in order to find out how larger tungsten pellets perform and if the difference is worth the expense.
Thank you sir for that video, was very helpful. There's not alot of information that I can find for purchasing tss or data. I'm new to shot shell but have been reloading rifle ammo for awhile.
Thanks a bunch for the video. I've loaded a fair amount of rifle and pistol but not any shotshells. My grandfather always all the shotshells for all of us. He's long pasted and I'm just getting into it. Still trying to get over the price shock. Best price on TTS I've found is 219 for 5 lbs. But I'm so curios on how popular it is becoming I might just have to try it.
I love all your videos I'm just getting into reloading TSS for geese for my 20 gauge and 12 gauge I love the products that you use if you can make them for me and I will buy them from you everything I need to reload thank you...
Very detailed video. But I am curious, can you please explain how you are fitting 710 grains of shot, cork, felt, mylar and 16 grains of PSB in that WAD. without the shot being outside the wad column. I use that wad and it will only hold 710 grains of shot and 15 gr PSB MAX and that is without a cork, felt and mylar.
Yes I have... #2 hits like LEAD size #4 BUCKSHOT does... 12 ga. 3" lead has 41 pellets in #4 buck load verses 108 pellets of TSS that hit just as hard or more...
Hi I'm definitely interested in purchasing everything from you so I can do my own TSS If you're willing to do that for me I will pay for shipping and everything Thank you very much
Outstanding video. I love the McGiver-like make it yourself attitude. A man after my own heart.
That’s a beautiful looking round. I’d love to get into handloading my own Turkey Shells.

Very smart. I'll be sure to keep you close when I start reloading freind.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Not many TSS reloading videos on TH-cam. I'm interested in trying it.

Hey nice video noticed it’s your only one you should do more your very helpful it seems with this stuff
Great video. Thanks. Hard to imagine shooting geese with #9 shot, but I hear it works great.
It do...
Great video Sir and thank you for your knowledge, greatly appreciated!!!
Really like this vid. Thanks for posting
Heheh, I want to get some shot in size BB to try out in my Daisy air rifle.
Great video, very interesting and informative A+
Niiiiice job,👍👍🤙thanx for the vid!!

Can you show how you made the shell trimming tool
Thanks for your time.

I load this load all the time! Its called Big 20XL
Great video. Thank you !!
I also have two questions what powder did you use, and is there a place to purchase the tss.
I'm assuming you have to buy new shells to do these loads as opposed to prior fold crimped range empties, correct?
Thanks for the videos! Where can I find load data for TSS?
Great video thank you!
How thick is the felt? 1/8 or 1/4" and what type of wad do I use?
Where do you get your shot at
Do you have any load data?
Do you mind me asking where you got your powder/scale pan from and your funnel? I’ve been looking for those types all over. Thanks
I heard that the slowest RPM on the drill press is best for roll crimping. Do you find this to be true?
Where to buy tungsten
Very cool thanks
Have you loaded any larger shot sizes? Predator or Hog type loads?
In Finland nr. 6 tss is quite common for predator loads, biggest legal game using a shotgun being wolf
Yes I have... #2 hits like LEAD size #4 BUCKSHOT does... 12 ga. 3" lead has 41 pellets in #4 buck load verses 108 pellets of TSS that hit just as hard or more...

Even it's not silver but the way they're made I think those shots are suitable for hunting werewolves .
Who is Hal?
Best man ever
Helped me a lot
