You can shoot TSS through any factory choke tubes, most of the time the factory full choke tubes are awesome. Been shooting it for years
Best turkey load for 20 gauge

TSS isn't cheap to shoot, that is the only Con I see for not using it... I looked and researched alot over the fall and have settled on Apex ammo.
On a apex ammo box it states no smaller than .555 for 20 gauge so I'm leaning more toward a Tru Lock choke similar to what Dave Owens is using.
If your wanting to binge on some good turkey hunting videos give THE PINHOTI PROJECT a watch on YOUTUBE. This guy doesnt deliver great kill shot vids but is in my opinion the best on the web at killing birds all over the US.
Heres a great video on his setup and I think you'll like it..

TSS Shot is amazing in a 20 gauge. I use the #9 shot. Expensive as hell but it is amazing. I bought a savage. Will have to dig that thread up.

Couldn't find the thread. If anyone is looking for a relatively cheap turkey gun that is already setup then look at the Savage 301 turkey. I got one for Christmas last year in a 20 gauge. Already comes with a choke that is well suited for TSS. Put a scope or reddot on it and you are ready to go. Not counting the sight the gun is setup and ready to go for under $200.

One important about TSS is if you are going to go that route you have to clean your barrel after every shot if you want premium preformance. Don't ever use oil or any lubricant in your barrel,a patch with alcohol run through it after you clean it is recommended
Found the TSS at cabelas...$40 for a box of five...and they only had 9 shot. F that! $8 per shell for 9 shot!

Yup... George get with the program... Get out there and pattern those Long Beard XR's you'll be very satisfied...
I got the longboard in 5 shot, I’m going to pick up a box of it in 6 shot also and run them both through the barrel.

Give it a shot.... But I and everyone I know uses #5 shot... Like you said... More umpffff... You'll have tight patterns with the long beards... Wish you could use a pellet rifle.... One pellet in the head... Hey like I said.... Spring turkey is all about getting them in close... I got a friend into turkey hunting years ago... First day out I called a bird in to him so close I thought he'd miss at 5 yds... No way he could raise the gun up till the last minute... He's an LEO and I joked with him that he would have never lived it down on a Jersey web sight... Took years of bugging him to go... Now he can't get enough... Last April he had Covid-19 and was hurting... Still got out and shot 3 birds...
$8 a shot, $32 tag, calls, camo, decoys...I can think of better ways to spend my spring mornings.
