I did find TSS ammo but at $59 for 5. I'm not gonna buy it for a weekend of hunting.
Only other 20g ammo I have seen is waterfowl loads 7/8 ounce #2 steel shot.
#2 shot is illegal anyway.  Nothing bigger than 4 shot.  Do you have a fixed choke?  If so #5 turkey loads would be fine.  If you have a turkey choke same ammo would be fine to.  Think I saw some federal 3rd degree at Sportmen's in Puyallup yesterday.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't look at the shot size. Sure glad I didn't waste my money 🙂

Are you in matlock?? If so I’m in Shelton and I have a shells you could have if you can’t find anything


Yup sure am. I'd gladly take a few.

I have a case of the old Hevi Shot 20 ga. 3" 6 shot 1 7/8 oz. 10 boxes of 10 shells I'll sell for $300.00. I had them posted for sale in the ammo classifieds.

I've got some in that we use in my kids break action 20 ga if you ever make it to the Wenatchee area.  Could possibly meet you on your way to the hunting grounds as well.  It is Remington 4 or 5 shot lead and works amazingly well on those dirty birds.

If you can get up towards Tacoma area, I just got some 20ga pheasant loads in a trade. They are all high base hunting loads in #4 and #6. I'll make you a heck of a deal.

20 gauge turkey ammo is starting to pop up more often. Within the last couple weeks, I've picked up a dozen boxes besides TSS. From Kent Ultimate to Remington Nitro to Winchester Longbeard XR. From up and down the wetside to CdA. You just have to be diligent and keep swinging by stores that carry ammo every chance you can get.  :twocents:

Just regular 3" #5's or #6's will kill turkeys all day long. Just pattern your gun.

I just got some 3rd degree for my sister off of federals website. I've had good luck with that. It's not as expensive as the TSS but it's still not the cheapest, $30 for a box of 5.

I have used lead to kill turkeys for 30 years and haven't lost one I have shot at yet.  #5 or #6 work good when you get them into the decoys.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
