Wanted Federal Black Cloud TSS BB&7 Ammo

[BeeMaa]

WTB Federal Black Cloud TSS BB&7 Ammo (Part# PWBTSSX142 7BB)

I have a good supply of the 3&9 version of this for Duck I found at Rogers Sporting Goods for a reasonable price. I've been looking for the BB&7 to use on Goose but have come up empty handed. I'll be sending an email to Federal to see when to expect this in stores. I know it's early to be looking at waterfowl loads, but I like to pattern my shotgun/choke/ammo for best results. Anyone who knows a supplier would be appreciated. Looking to buy at least 100 shells (without being gouged on the price), but would be happier with 200. Of course I will pay shipping. Thanks for looking and enjoy your Sunday.

I have two boxes I'll part with. Older 6 years or so but always stored in climate controlled gun safe.
(Goose hunting buddy passed and I haven't gone since)

@Badjer - I appreciate the offer, but what I'm looking for and what you are offering are not the same. The latest and greatest for most shotshell ammo is TSS (Tungsten Super Shot). Federal blends the smaller TSS pellet with a larger Flitestopper steel shot to make the shells I'm looking for.

Hang on to that FS Steel, it's good medicine for big honkers. Thanks again.

No problem... thought I'd ask.
I don't see me using it. My buddy had the landowner contacts...

Have you hunted with this stuff yet? I’m very interested in trying TSS.

No, not yet. I’ve seen some impressive performance on ducks and geese via YouTube. An outfitter named Bobby Guy is sponsored by Federal and geese fold up when hit with this stuff. Lots of ShotCam footage. My friend dropped a turkey DRT using Federal TSS Heavyweight #7, so I know it works.

The science behind it is sound, it makes perfect sense. More dense means you can use smaller pellets. The same way (inverse) that when people had to shift from lead to steel for waterfowl, they had to go up in pellet size to obtain the same results because of reduced density.

The biggest drawback is the price. But if you kill it clean with one shot vs shooting 2 or 3 times at the same bird…cost swings back in favor of the TSS. Either way, you should only be taking ethical and accurate shots. Realistically, we all miss so having a box of cheap shells for finishing is a good thing too.

BeeMaa,
I missed the TSS in the title and I also missed the thread from January "TSS ammo... is it worth it?" < smh> However, since I am in the Mississippi flyway and I end up in the ammo section in every store I visit that has one... I'll keep me eyes open

 

[BeeMaa]

Thanks @Badjer

Yeah, I started that TSS thread a while back. I’m on the TSS bandwagon but understand why others are hesitant.

I would like to thank @Mark Biggerstaff for the hook up on some Black Cloud TSS BB&7. If anyone else is looking for some, you should not hesitate...this stuff can go quickly.

Thanks again Mark.
