Cons

  • Higher Cost: TSS ammunition is generally more expensive than traditional lead or steel turkey loads due to the advanced materials and technology used.
  • Recoil: The high density of TSS can result in increased felt recoil, especially in lighter 20 gauge shotguns.
  • Overpenetration Risk: The superior penetration of TSS may require extra caution when hunting in areas with potential for pass-through shots.
  • Limited Versatility: While excellent for turkeys, this specialized load may be overkill for other small game hunting applications.
