- Patterning the Boss Tom Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) ammo with my Stoeger M3000 and Carlson’s Turkey Choke. I am testing the 12 Gauge, 3 inch, 2 OZ, #9 Shot Shells. This is the first time I’ve shot TSS and was very impressed.
Comment below and let me know if you’ve had good luck with TSS.

Good review, Thanks ! Appreciate the camera info!
As a man that shoots 9 shot tss penetration equals that of lead 5 shot. That said you really shouldn’t shoot lead 5s over 60 yrds due to penetration factor I know cause 63 yrds I had run a gobbler down that was still alive but partially broken neck and pellets in the head with 9 shot tss. Being smaller it also does less damage than a larger diameter pellet. Where 9 shot tss shines is 50 and less as u can open up ur pattern to give you a larger margin of error while still delivering the same amount of pellets in the center of the pattern as a standard lead load
I use the apex and federal tss, I've used the primos jelly head and carlsons. #8.5 & 9's are where it's at. Great video. For those that don't believe penetration is good enough, place several layers of cardboard behind the target and see what happens. These are turkey killers for sure
People act like tss is soo good bc you can shoot soo far. I think if you are shooting a 12 guage 3 inch winchester lo g beard #5s for $25 are plenty good. You shouldn't be ethically shooting a turkey past 40 yards anyway
Thats true. I shoot a 12 ga 3 1/2" longbeard #5 with a carlsons longbeard choke. I can put over 30 bb s in the head at 50yds
@Chase H geeze dude I bet them 3.5s will knock your pecker in the dirt. Ouch. I have a 3 inch gun so I shoot 3 inch shells, obviously. I'm sure if I had a 3.5 inch gun I'd shoot them too, but I am glad I don't bc they have to kick hard as hell.
I love the longbeards too and have nothing but good luck with them. However....once i saw a tss on paper I was sold. 2x the pellets in a tss round. After all I'm not shooting ducks with them. A box of tss last me 2 years. 5 birds stone dead
I still use my old school stuff turkey loads too my guns I personally don't wanna shoot past 50 yards just my style of hunting I enjoy the hunt and the time chasing them I'm not out there just for the kill too post picks on social media and I personally ain't spending 80 bucks on 5 shells 😅 just too blow holes in a target mite as well shoot slugs or a rifle 😂
I have shot one turkey at 55 steps and that was because I had been after him for two years. That is the farthest shot I have take and will ever take. Most of my turkeys I can just about ring there neck as it is. Just not a fan of long range shot in my opinion it is not ethical
Super lethal pattern at 40 with ease! Looks like you’re ready to go. Looking forward to some turkey hunts in May!
Can’t wait. Seeing that strutter today got me all fired up! May 1st is right around the corner.
Hmmm....this is the first video that might cause me to spend the money on those expensive shells!
Thanks for taking the time, and spending the money to make the video.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
@@treestandmanoutdoors can you test the best 12 gauge for 80 to 100 yards goose kills
@@tjs792 I wouldn’t recommend shooting geese at that distance, but if you had lots of extra $ to burn, you could spend $10 a shell on TSS and it would give you the best chance. The risk of wounding them without recovering would be pretty high at that distance.
Nice camera work adding in the shotkam! I patterned Boss Tom #7 out to 50yd with Patternmaster Code Black turkey choke. Gotta say your #9 was a much better pattern at 40yd.
just bought this ammo. This video make me not regret the price. Thanks
One box should last all season. It’s a game changer for sure. Good luck!
I had to switch shells after pattering my Mossberg 835 with Apex Ninja 3.5” #8.5’s and Indian Creek choke….i was scared of missing due to how tight the patter was @ 30 yards.
Great video
I wasn't aware Stoeger made an M3000 "turkey edition" . I knew they had put one out in the M3020 namely cuz I have one!
I own a Stoeger m3000 turkey gun and it is fantastic. Had it about ten years and loves Federal #5 turkey loads. Know nothing about tss as I do not shoot past 40 yds and Federal copper shot is deadly at this range. I still use the choke Stoeger put in the barrel.
Great job!
Yep I heard that TSS will kill an elephant at over 300 yards !! I mean it’s the Creedmore of shotgun loads !!
🤣
While your analogy is humerus, there is a little difference between the two. Tss is an actual improvement over what was available previously. The needmore definitely is not. Both are completely overhyped, but at least the tss warrants it a little.
@@gsnicholas8522 Have you ever actually shot a creeemoore? I have one. It's the best shooting rifle that I've ever had and its only a lower end Thompson Center maybe a $400-$500 setup. Every deer thats been shot with it has dropped in its tracks.
@@Chase_H why would I want to waste my time with an inferior cartridge? I've been shooting and loading for a 6.5 Swede for a long time. Ragged hole groups at velocities the needmore could only dream about. Why would I want to downgrade? I know several people who have them and think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, until I bring out my Swede.
My 338 lupua would make your little creedmore cry like a little Bi##h!
Good sir
Must make for some pretty interesting eating with no 9 shoot
👍👍
After the 10 yard shot I heard a shock gobble
There were birds not too far away while I was shooting. Good 👂
@@treestandmanoutdoors I can’t help it lol. Me and my wife just came back from Chattanooga and while walking beside the River a crow called and my knees locked down and she said what’s wrong and I said shhhh. 😂 I may need help 🤷♂️
@@shanelong7253 🤣
Man i shoot the same choke on a 870 rem. Shot several brands of tss and the federal 3" #9 is where its at. Killed a tom at 92 yrds last year. Grouping is a lot tighter at 40 and 50 yrds. Good luck chasin thunder chickens!!
92 yards with #9’s. Sorry not buying it.
😎👍😎
I was looking for a 80 to 100 yards turkey goose hunts guns test
What good is a great pattern if you can’t get the ammo😢
Not available locally, but it looks the stuff I shoot it’s in stock on their website - bossshotshells.com/products/12-ga-3-tom-18-2-oz-9/
Have your tried the 3 1/2" #9, I think they shoot a better pattern than the 3" #9.s? 2oz of shot vs 2 1/4 oz of shot....
I actually don’t own a shotgun with a 3.5” chamber, but I’m sure the 3.5” shells are a force to be reckoned with!
Waist of TSS no need to shoot 3.5
80 yds is a great and entertaining shot when you're shooting PAPER TARGETS.....NOT TURKEYS. There is just not enough reliability from one shot to the next to repeat a kill shot.
People dont wanna actually hunt anymore. They want instant gratification and to not be challenged in any way
@Whitey Fisk Unfortunately I must agree with you for most folks that is correct. TSS is what I call "The great equalizer" and alot of people like to show off what I can do on paper, which is great but doesn't put one beak first in the dirt. IMHO....TSS is best used in "sub" gauges because of it's effectiveness and efficiency. Again, IMHO shooting ANY TSS load (9s, seem to be most popular) over 1 5/8oz. or MAYBE 1 3/4 oz. is just a waste. 9s, traveling at 1000 fps will efficiently harvest a bird far longer than the ethical pattern will stay together. I'm not telling folks how ,what, where, or when to squeeze the trigger, that's up to each individual to judge for themselves how far they can ETHICALLY harvest an animal. Unfortunately most today simply don't care.
I just not excited at paying all that extra money on tss for 5 shots when I can get 10 alot cheaper plus shooting super long shots might as well use a muzzelloader
How dare you be ethical??
In all honesty idk why Steven Rinella and Michael Waddel and all these Rokslide fools dont just use a 17hmr to hunt turkeys aince they want to shoot turkeys 100yards away. God forbid they dont get what they want for their tv show. Absolutely pathetic
i shoot tss #9s in a 20 ga killed to last season 2021 at 50 yards and one at 53 yards . you will pay for tss but when that gobbler hangs up at 50 he will be going home with you...
Why not just use a 17hmr. You dont always have to win. Thats why its called hunting. If we all got a bird every time we went out soon there wouldn't any turkeys left, and its probably one of the reasons turkey populations are on such declince lately.
You people that use TSS aren't using that load for what it's made for out in the field. TSS is made for long range like everyone says it can do but never and are afraid to take those longer shots. If I shot TSS, which I don't I would never hesitate or be afraid to shoot a Turkey at 80 yards. I take 60 yards shots without using TSS loads and kill turkeys with no problem. In the past we killed turkeys at 40 yards with high brass pheasant loads and only a full choke
No X full, no XX full, no XXX full no XXXX full choke. So, TSS users are not using that load for what it's made for and priced at. Maybe the reason why their not taking those longer shots is to cover up for their lack of skill at those ranges and just blame it on being unethical. More like afraid, unskilled, lack of knowing what your weapon is capable of or just plain lazy to learn how that's possible. You proved my point in your video. You made a kill shot at 80 yards as you said yourself but you admitted you wouldn't take that shot. Why? Afraid? Unethical in your opinion? Not sure of yourself? Who cares if you shoot a turkey 2 or 3 times at 80 yards as long as you get it. I have seen people shoot turkeys 2 or 3 times at 30 yards.
Is that unethical? With some turkeys that's the only shot they give you. They stay just out of peoples comfort zone range. This is how I get pressured public land gobblers. I use the long shot trick on them if they don't want to come in any closer. Smarter birds have figured that out. They know when they should see a hen but don't and stay away. You keep hunting the easier dummer birds. Leave the smarter birds to hunters like me. Nothing unethical about shooting a bird at 80 yards if make sure you kill it. I wish people would just admit the real reasons why they won't shoot at longer ranges.
That's your opinion, mine is any idiot can shoot a turkey at long range with the right choke and shell combination but it takes a smart & good hunter to consistently call old birds or highly pressured public land birds to 40 yds or less and harvest them. Most people in my opinion that take a long poke at a turkey is just interested in the kill or just plain don't know how to call a turkey in close.
@@scottfrederick8299 That's your opinion but, no not anyone can do long range shots if that were true I would see many more videos doing so. Calling them in close is someone not confident and needs them in there shot range. I shot one at 10 yards in the head so I know how it is. Close or far there is nothing wrong with it. TSS is still over hyped, over priced, and under shot. Yes, that's my opinion.
@@danielwagner6290 there's no fun in shooting one at long range for me, the challenge is calling them up close and watching them strut, spit & drum. I guess that's the reason I shoot a 410 or bow. Long range shots are not a challenge and killing one at long range has no meaning to me. If I can't call one in close (40 yds or closer with a gun, 20 yds or closer with a bow) he lives to hunt another day. To each his own.
@@scottfrederick8299 Yes, it's fun to do both !
Danny, that's not even ethical. It doesn't matter if you use Tungsten buckshot. Your velocity is near subsonic at long range. If that bird drops or turns his head at the shot, you've wounded up a $750 bird. That's the restoration fee charged for an illegal bird where I live.
