I'm blaming this on TSS....
I'm blaming this on TSS....
I started loading and shooting TSS last year for 20 gauge (my 870, my Affinity and better-half's M2) and I was quite pleased to say the least.
Being the type that is hardly ever completely satisfied as well as always needing a new challenge or project, I broke down and bought a new Franchi 48AL Deluxe 28 gauge!
I hope that the factory full works out and I have plenty of TSS #9's on hand, just need load data and the remaining components.
Any advise?
Should I get 9.5's or stick with 9's?
I don't want to reinvent the wheel, hoping to get sound advice from you guys knowledgeable about the Franchi 48AL 28 gauge and TSS.
My barrel is 26"

Re: I'm blaming this on TSS....
Most people shooting the 28 gauge is using Hal's 1 1/2 ounce recipe. I have decided to use this one for my 870 when I get around to setting it up. I am going to duplex 9s and 9.5s in mine though. Probably will start with a Briley extended full choke as well, but may use an extra full choke too. Haven't decided on choke yet.

Sweet! Mine likes both the 1-5/16 oz load and the 1-1/2 oz load. The 1-5/16oz'er averages about 240, with the heavier load averaging around 225. That's with the factory full and 9.5's. I hunted with the 1.5oz last year just because that's what I had loaded. It worked. I actually prefer the pattern of the smaller payload, it's just more uniform....but it is lacking a bit in the 10-20". I wouldn't be scared of the 9.5's. They'll kill one farther than I wanna shoot. You'll be fine with either. I'll likely be going to 9's when I run out of 9.5's.
Feel, don't think. Trust your instincts.

That sure is a mighty shiny and purdy gun to be bumping around in the turkey woods.

Franchi uses nice wood on the 48AL Deluxe. Yours is no exception. Gil
