Just ordered enough hulls and wads to last me a few years. 200 - 12 ga hulls, 200 - 20 ga hulls, and 200 - 12 gauge wads. All of you procrastinators out there don't wait until the week before season to order what you need because they will be sold out of something.

I ordered some VP wads a couple weeks ago and have them already. A member off of here sent me a few hundred as well. If someone needs some I could spare some if I had to.

Speakin of stocked up, should I go ahead and buy an Indian creek choke now as well as turkey shells (don't have a loader or anything for tss) or wait till they start putting it out for turkey season? Not tryn to hijack thread, just wondering if I should wait for a deal and risk it being sold out etc...

What are Tss 9s going for this year? I still have enough for this year, but may start stocking up for next year.

Question. Why are there no shell manufacturer's offering the TSS loads? I have no clue. They could charge $15/shell.

Question. Why are there no shell manufacturer's offering the TSS loads? This question is asked every year and no one knows definitively why. Here's my best guess based on what I think I know. Years ago I bought a Comp-N-Choke for my Benelli M1. After not getting the results I had hoped for during patterning, I called them and spoke to the owner Charlie Boswell. In that conversation I asked about some of the heavier than lead loads. He basically told me that he couldn't legally recommend it. If I recall correctly it was due to the shot being a stronger alloy than the choke. I am not a physics expert but when two metals contact each other enough, the weaker metal will eventually give. When the barrel is made of softer metal than the shot being used, one has to wonder how many times it can safely be fired until a material failure occurs. My guess is that corporate lawyers have told the shotshell manufacturers that if an accident ever happens and they are sued, they are probably 99% sure to lose the lawsuit. One lawsuit could wipe out 20 years worth of profits. It doesn't make sense to offer it from that standpoint.

I've also always thought that tungsten is a traded commodity and price fluctuations would make it hard to price it and stay competitive. No backing to that, just my thought.
