What Choke Tube Works Best With TSS Loads?

April 5, 2026

Quick Answer

TSS loads typically require a choke tube with a longer range of effective shooting. They work best with a choke tube that produces the most consistent and dense patterns at longer ranges.

Choosing the Right Choke Tube for TSS Loads

When hunting with 20 gauge TSS loads, a modified or improved modified choke tube is recommended. These chokes produce a consistent and dense pattern out to 40 yards, making them ideal for long-range turkey hunting.

Effective Range and Pattern Density

A modified choke tube typically produces a 30-inch pattern at 40 yards with a 20 gauge TSS load. An improved modified choke tube will produce a 25-inch pattern at the same distance. It’s essential to choose a choke tube that balances effective range and pattern density for optimal performance.

Choke Tube Selection and Installation

When selecting a choke tube, choose one that is specifically designed for your shotgun gauge and TSS load. Install the choke tube correctly, following the manufacturer’s instructions, to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage to your shotgun.
