This is a great video - and I do appreciate your showing some good 2-3/4" 12 gauge turkey loads. My brother really likes his Ithaca M37 and is limited to 2-3/4. There aren't many 2-3/4" turkey loads on the shelves, so a roll-your-own option is very useful!
@@theshotgunscientists just ran across your vid on tss ..no need to load mega mag anymore... I refuse to use steel. Now in Lewis county ky, if you get this way I've been casting .620 pumpkin ball and other....use Maxi's? .50-.54 .
I've found 1-1/2oz to 1-5/8oz payloads to be the sweet spot for TSS turkey in any gauge (28 gauge to 12 gauge)... I have a 10 gauge, 1-5/8oz TSS load moving 1375-1400 FPS.
@@theshotgunscientists It’s good to hear it works better in a 10 gauge with a lighter load anyways as expensive as that stuff is! Saves me a 2 1/2 ounce to 3 ounce loaded anyways of the stuff.
Excellent video, please continue with a few more loads in 12 ga. With TSS it is not as easy as you think to find that much data on it because of so much proprietary stuff people are funny about sharing it for some reason.
Can you tell me if there is any difference between a 2 3/4 inch tss with a 1 3/8 ounce pay load and a 3 inch tss load with 1 5/8 ounce pay load other than pellet count?
You don’t need a 3” shell for 1 5/8 ounces of tss, 2 3/4” will hold over 2 ounces if you want it too. It might be lower pressure in 3” though do to having more cushion.
@@theshotgunscientists Thanks. I am shooting Apex #9 in 2 3/4 inch. The load is 1 3/8. I was just wondering if there was any difference other than the payload. I really like the way that 1 3/8 load shoots.
@@66branch I shot a gobbler with that Apex load in Alabama on Tuesday, and it absolutely hammered him. This is the first year I have hunted with TSS. I don’t know if I will ever shoot my 12 gauge again.
Hey Guys just Wanna say Thank You So much for these educational Videos been having lots of fun out on the Range 🇺🇸 I've been using 9 pellet 00 buck . and Long shot Hey if y'all got any more 00 buck ideas id Love to see them !
So just a quick question. Did you test fire this load? If so do you have a video? I love your videos by the way. I mainly load duplex loads for waterfowl hunting,but toying with loading some straight up TSS loads for spring gobblers. But i feel that 30gn of blue dot or 28gn of long shot is way over charged. Maybe not im not quite sure and you might know better than me. But im pushing 1 3/8s duplex at 1350 ish with 21.8 grains of longshot unbuffered. No doubting you at all just wondering if you found this load to be pretty hot?
23 grains of longshot gets us 1350ish speeds with a 1 ounce load in 16 gauge man, I’m not sure how you’re getting 1350 with 21 grains in a 12 gauge with 1 3/8 ounces.
is there anyway to buy Gary's products without facebook? I cant find his email or any other info but i really wanna buy a hull trimmer from him! any help would be great!
I just ordered the same taper off eBay... do you have that in your 8 point crimp slot? I take it that it's removable in case you need your 8pt die? Also thanks for the channel recommendations.
Smells even better out of a fired paper case- real old fastioned!

Could cheddite hull and primer and longshot be used what changes would need to be made
For a Cheddite hull keep everything exactly the same but no need to trim the wad.
@theshotgunscientists what about using longshot
@@Kali-T3 26 grains
Solid video and I dig the hat.
Thanks!
Do you know where I can find some 12g/cc tungsten.playing with some cheaper waterfowl loads for a 20ga.thanks
Ballistic products

That 10 gauge load sounds nasty lol that would do that job so far beyond 60 yards.

I know lol it’s a little odd to me
@@theshotgunscientists while your at it my friends could you please throw in a couple good Bismuth and maybe a little more steel loads too!
@@raymondbuie5292 we have bismuth shot on the way actually
@@theshotgunscientists Awesome my friend ! Can’t wait
Another great one!
I haven’t been able to find blue dot by me in about 2 years. I originally wanted it for 10mm but now I also reload shotgun.
It’s great for magnum loads
Can you try some heavy tss 12 or 10 gauge? 2.5oz or 2.75 respectively. Love your content.
Maybe yeah. 3 ounces in doable in 10 gauge.
How much longshot would you use to replace the 35.0g blue dot?
It start at 28

I have a 2oz #7 and a 2oz #9 load in 2¾" They're teeth rattlers in a pump gun but they flatten turkeys.

There’s a million possibilities lol
Have you done any loads with a 12ga 2-3/4” water fowl steel/tss duplex?
We haven’t no
Can you make a 28 ga load of number 9 tss. Its very hard to find info on it. Thanks
Yes when I get 28 gauge tps wad definitely
Thanks for the vid. Have you ever loaded any 3 inch 20 gauge TSS 9 shot?
Not yet but I can
Have you loaded any TSS T shot. I bought some just having hard time with 12 gauge data
I’ve only used 9
another great video thank you

No but it’s probably so close you can’t tell the difference in performance
