This video provides a cost-saving strategy for sighting in turkey shotguns, especially when using expensive Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) loads. The primary recommendation is to use cheaper ammunition like duck, skeet, or older turkey loads for initial adjustments to get the gun on target. Premium TSS loads should be reserved for final micro-adjustments to ensure accuracy without wasting expensive shells. The presenter highlights that TSS loads can have different ballistic characteristics than standard loads, emphasizing the need for proper testing with specific shotgun models like the Mossberg Silver Reserve and SA-20.

Quick Summary

Save money on expensive TSS turkey loads by using a smart sighting-in strategy. Use cheaper ammunition like duck or skeet loads for initial adjustments to get your shotgun on target efficiently, then reserve premium TSS loads for final micro-adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I save money when sighting in my turkey gun with TSS loads?

To save money, use cheaper ammunition like duck, skeet, or older turkey loads for the initial sighting process. This gets your shotgun on target efficiently before you switch to expensive premium TSS loads for final micro-adjustments.

Why should I use cheaper ammo for initial sight-in instead of TSS loads?

Expensive TSS loads are best reserved for final micro-adjustments. Using cheaper ammo for the bulk of the sighting process prevents wasting high-cost shells while still achieving the necessary accuracy for your turkey gun.

Do TSS turkey loads perform differently than standard shotgun shells?

Yes, TSS loads often fly differently than standard loads due to their density and ballistic properties. It's crucial to test your specific TSS ammunition with your turkey gun to understand its unique performance characteristics.

What shotguns were used in the demonstration for sighting in?

The video demonstrated sighting-in procedures using Mossberg shotguns, specifically mentioning the Mossberg Silver Reserve double barrel and the Mossberg SA-20 pistol grip models.
