I had a feeling people would ask the counts lol I was in a hurry and didn't even think about it. I don't know that it would have been too impressive count wise but coverage wise I liked ithookedspur wrote:Come on Man Put a circle on it and do a little countin.

There's no denying that TSS is some pretty awesome stuff. My only question is, what does the part of the turkey that you eat look like after taking a dose of that at 40, 50 60 yards????bowhunter2k9 wrote:Shot this at 60 just for fun[emoji1303]
Re: 60 yd Big20XL for fun
I think that is great to test at ranges past forty for confirmation. I like to test at fifty. My estimated range for how far I'll shoot works out to an actual 35 yards, so a good enough pattern confirmed well past that is great insurance against errors.

My teeth hurt just looking at that! Kinda like getting all itchy after you stir up an ant bed
Re: 60 yd Big20XL for fun
It looks sparse for 60 to me. No doubt it would kill though. What are your 40yd counts with the same set-up?

Yes I thought it did too, I get 300-330 at 40 with a clean bore.Reloader wrote:It looks sparse for 60 to me. No doubt it would kill though. What are your 40yd counts with the same set-up?
Please note that this 60 was after 5-8 rounds. Really dirty
Re: 60 yd Big20XL for fun
I prefer very few to none on the body pellet count, I will stay with the copper plated lead 5 or 6 shot and keep the shots at 30 yrds. or less. Too easy to kill turkeys here as there is very little to no pressure from hunting in most areas north of the Missouri river, tomorrows another day.

So not a very realistic test. Any reason you didnt clean the barrel prior to shooting?bowhunter2k9 wrote:Yes I thought it did too, I get 300-330 at 40 with a clean bore.Reloader wrote:It looks sparse for 60 to me. No doubt it would kill though. What are your 40yd counts with the same set-up?

They will kill to 74 for sure. Very few pellets stay in the breast. Fewer than anyone would think.

Re: 60 yd Big20XL for fun
Not realistic? Most shots at 60+ for me will be when I've missed a first shot or two! Lol and I would like to know what my gun will do if I forget to clean it as wellGrunt-N-Gobble wrote:So not a very realistic test.

Nice pattern. How much drop did you notice from point of aim?
