Re: 2017 Colorado

Men, thanks for the kind comments. This was my bucket list hunt as well a couple of years ago...still is. I've been on this unguided DIY hunt the last three years on an OTC tag, and am lucky to have came home with 3 bulls. Someone asked score...I'm no official measurer, but I'd put him at 325" ...

Re: Stupid question about bullets and calibers?

I'd love to see a pic of the mature 8 with a bunch of stickers. I like bucks with character. I've shot whitetail, mule deer, and elk for the past 8 years with nothing but Barnes TTSX. Some factory, some hand loaded. Haven't lost one yet, knock on wood...

Re: Turkey Load Test

[quote="Smoke68" Gunslinger, what am I looking at $/shell for 20 gauge or 28 gauge?[/quote] I can't honestly say. The price of TSS varies per source, which is the main factor. I'd guess the cost for components per shell less than $1 (pre-primed hull, wad, spacer, buffer, shot card if roll-...

Re: Turkey Load Test

Are you saying you can reload shotshells without using a traditional reloading press? How do you get a new primer seated in the shell? Thinking it through, I guess you're only putting or rather pouring powder in the bottom of the shell, pressing a wad in by hand, then putting shot in the wad by han...

Re: Turkey Load Test

TSS is nontoxic. I'm guessing no major manufacturer is making TSS shells due to cost of shot. Low margin of profit I'd guess. Although, the price of TSS seems to be coming down. You'll be north of $5 per shell when you factor in price of shot and components (that's loading 2oz 12 gauge loads). The o...

Re: Turkey Load Test

Here's a basic chart showing the approx, nominal pellet counts per ounce of shot of various materials and sizes; assuming true shape, true size and true density. (Borrowed from another source) Where TSS shines is being able to shoot #9 TSS at 362 pellets per ounce that hits as hard or harder than #4...

Re: Turkey Load Test

So what is the weight of the TSS vs lead? My feeble mind wants to think that the heavier lead would have better terminal performance than pretty much any other metal. But I know there are WAY more factors than just weight. Making assumptions here, but maybe the fact the TSS is lighter, you can get ...

Re: Turkey Load Test

For me, I have not found anything that is even close to the Magnum Blends and Hevi 13 shells from Hevishot. They pattern great and have unmatched hitting power at extended ranges I'm guessing you've never shot TSS. I've shot just about every "new and improved" factory turkey load over the...

Re: Shotgun Sights

Burris also has a great warranty. I somehow bent the frame on my FF3. Mailed it in after season last year, and got a brand new one in the mail shortly after, no questions asked.

Re: Shotgun Sights

I've got a Burris Fast Fast 3 with the speed bead mount system on a SBE2. Works great. Advantage to the speed bead mount is you can still see your bead on the barrel if the battery dies or something else happens. I wouldn't have one mounted on a rail. I'd worry about a battery dying or dropping the ...
