If you are willing to pay tungsten super shot seems to be the top choice

This is what I use in #9 shot and it is very deadly. I'm certain that there are hand loads out there that may shoot slightly better. But, the ease of availability and consistency of these makes an easy choice for me. I don't mind the cost because I'm trading $10 for a wild turkey. That seems fair to me.

Foxtrot and Nitro ammo company have out performed Apex for me by as many as 40/50 pellets in some cases. I’ve used apex, but in my set ups it’s barely better than the federal shells. To me I get more bang for my buck. This year I’ll be using t258 #8x9 I stopped chasing numbers and it’ll hammer if I do my part.

I’m going to try out foxtrot when my supply of apex runs out. Spent a few hours talking to the owner at the fox vest event when we were waiting overnight at the mossy oak store. Seems like a good guy who knows his stuff.

He has a great sense of humor. Throws a bag of Ramen noodles in the package with your ammo, because you just blew the grocery money on expensive ammo.
Them little 28 ga "cherry bombs" are purty.

A400 xplor, trulock and a fox trot cherry bomb #9. My brother hammered only bird he shot at with it. I took a bird with it also.

When my grandson was 12. I loaded up my Beretta o/u with Kent 5s in 20 gauge. He shot a big one at 20 yards that’s now a full body strutted mount at their farm house

I've killed a few with my youth 20 gauge semi shooting Fiochi Golden Pheasant 3" #6s and it flat stones them, patterns great as well in a factory full.

What choke restriction is everyone using for TSS #9's? I've read .675

That choke restriction is for a 12 guage not a 20 guage. 665-675 is good for 12 and 555-570 is good for 20's when shooting tss

We use the full factory chokes that come with our 20 guages. I have learned with TSS you can get to tight, LOL....

I just bought 2 boxes of the Federal Heavyweight TSS 3 inch 9 shot from Academy in Newnan. But, that was all they had there.
