I’m still rock’n my old 10X vest from the early 90s.
It too could use some better straps, already has a few patches.

I agree, Shooter did state in an 4/24/17 post that the original Hot Rod load
was about 13k psi and that Apex was going to tone it down to 12k. I have never
fired one but have been told they do thump for a lighter load.

Same load that Apex sells as their Lt-20

Can’t give you a yes or no answer, but have wondered the same thing. My LT-20 cycles 3/4, 7/8, and 1 ounce loads flawlessly. I load tss/lead duplex loads for upland birds and lead for doves, never a problem. Without any gas port regulation I am afraid to load anything heavier than that. It’s the bes...

Carlson or Turlock .585 Have also used .590 with great results

Awesome job, Ohio boy gets it done! Ohio is a one bird state this year,..going to be hard handle that!

Yeah, If you like weight?

Like I said before, it ain’t the gun that gets it done.,,but good luck!

Nice set up but way overkill, the gun is not what harvests the bird!
Good luck though!

Wolff also makes a factory standard power a reduced power and extra power spring.
Easy to install and only $12.99

Mine is clean, I swapped it out when I started shooting heavy tss loads. Didn’t want to beat it up too bad.
It’s my designated turkey gun now. It won’t eject 7/8 oz loads now but is easy to change it back if wanted.
Also no chance of the dreaded Benelli click now!

I have the same gun. Replaced the spring with a Wolff heavy spring.
Works great.

Ok Joe! Just wondering

Did you band my for posting about other ammo that I like?

Congrats to the TSS Mastermind!

Sorry pic won’t load, tried twice

The bullseye rash I had in November

Same deal with me, but it was last November. Doc gave me 200 mg Doxycycline. Have had no
problems. I guess if it’s taken 24hrs after the bite it highly reduces the risk of contracting Lymes.
Doc said it was a very suspicious rash. Have had 2 other bites without a rash.

Wow, those do look shallow and weak. That’s a factory load?
I roll mine down deeper than that with no rattle. Shot to shot
consistency is good. Took awhile to find the right combination,
but very happy with the end result.

I bought some 20ga Federal tss a few years ago. Patterns were good but inconsistent. Noticed excessive rattle and powder migration, some 1/3 of the way up the wad. This will be my 3rd year hand loading, and after finding the right combination my patterns are very consistent. I cut open the Federals ...

Got you, I thought the Foxtrot looked great on the pattern board, and I’m sure it would
do well with about any choke. Just like any load, find the right combination and it’s golden!

Sorry, can’t read that. Can be found on Blue Collar Outdoor,..Pattering the Stevens 301 with Federal tss
and Kicks choke.
Scroll down through the comments.

Patterns looked great to me! But here is what Blue Collar Outdoors had to say.
Don’t know any of the parties involved here but have watched their pattern reviews
And find them informative. Just thought wow that’s pretty harsh.

I would try to lightly spread that ring with some circlip pliers and while doing that rotate it.
Those holes have to be there for a reason??..I would think?

Look similar to the old Lyman Cutts Compensator
