TSS velocity

[Fishh2o]

So, I was reading a post on DHC about the velocity of steel and the patterns. When is it so fast that the pattern blows out compared to when its fast enough to kill? I thought it would be a good idea to discuss velocities of TSS and what the benefits are of faster or slower TSS loads. Duplex loads are a different story and we can discuss it later. Its almost turkey season!

I have received reports of wider patterns when the velocity gets up around 1600 fps. I haven't played much with that sort of speed.

Hal,

Out of you 28ga for turkey what speeds are you shooting to get the best pattern?

My 28 ga loads are very heavy, so there's no choice but to load them slow - 1000 fps to 1025 fps.

There are some sweet spots up over 1200 fps for turkey loads that you find sometimes.

Is that using lil gun with 28Ga load and whats of the size load with speed around 1200 Fps.

You can get 1200 fps with 1 oz.....
