Old School Turkey Gun 16 GA. Pattern Testing - Apex TSS Turkey

There's just something about shooting an old-school side-by-side that takes us back. Takes us back to a time most of us don't even remember. Makes us feel a bit like pioneers out on the new front! We all long for something a little different from our day to day, even in our hobbies, and finding a gem like this circa 1960s shotgun to get patterned up for turkey hunting is something that Edward has been looking forward to.
Today Edwards taking a break from calling turkeys and showing you this old school set up, where its getting a nice punch of an upgrade in payload from the boys over at Apex Ammunition. The Tungsten Super Shot or TSS is the cats meow of shot when it comes to selecting a shotgun shell that will best deliver a pattern down range at 40 plus yards to a turkeys head. Stay tuned this season as Edward WILL be taking a bird with Grandpappys old shotgun this Spring.

Any issues with shooting that tss thru the old barrel ?

[@veteranironoutdoors8320]

I picked up that exact gun today, and want to run TSS in one barrel and buffered lead in the other, but the internet seems divided on wether tss is a no go for fixed chokes, or that #9 tss is too small to cause bridging or damage.
As someone who has actually fired TSS through your fixed choke, have you noticed anything out of the ordinary?

I patterns quite well and have zero issues only that the tight patterns tell on the POA. This gun shoots low and right and with little sight options makes it kinda one of those things that you just have to compensate for. My gun has run the TSS just fine, it does pack a punch though.

@@callemorcrawlemmine shoots low left, I fixed that by putting a beartooth products comb raising kit on it. I needed the 3/8” spacer. Raising the comb not only brought the point of impact up but it also fixed the windage, because I didnt have to scrunch down on the stock funny to get a sight picture.
