[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 3013092, member: 109917"] Impossible to me is anything outside of the needed pattern density and required energy needed to penetrate deep enough to reach the vitals or the off switch in the head. #9 TSS will blow thru a mature mallard at about 40yds, but we try to keep everything well inside that. The little Tristar Viper G2 Bronze I have came with an extended Skeet choke, .003" constriction or .543" bore. Something 5lbs is easy to get up, easy to hold on extremely cold days and it is a ton of fun to shoot. I took 60 shells for the 5 days of hunting, 25 birds possible, and I looked last night when I got home, I had 17 shells left. That's 43 shells counting cripples, whiffs and birds taken. This is my first full time with the Tristar 28ga hunting, but once I got it dialed in, it became so much easier than anything or anytime in my life with the 12ga. As a buddy joked, they were so close you could see them blink. TSS is expensive, but if you consider how few opportunities you get to hunt, how successful you become, how effective and efficient it is, it's not really that expensive. Buy the Tristar, they make the 410 in synthetic, hoping they do a 28ga version for shot this year, practice sporting clays and load a few shells every day until season, you will figure out fast enough that dynamite comes in small packages. 5/8oz will get you 25 shells per pound, buy it in bulk from reseller's, swallow the price and then prepare for the eye opening experience. I have 12ga, 20ga and 16ga shotguns that I doubt I ever hunt with again. [/QUOTE]
