✔ Barrel Protection: Full-length wads prevent direct contact between the hard TSS pellets and the bore, protecting the barrel.

Cons

✘ Recoil: The 3.5" shell with 2.5 oz payload may produce significant felt recoil, especially in lighter shotguns.
✘ Cost: Premium TSS loads are typically more expensive than traditional lead or steel turkey loads.
