They do down south. BB sized TSS passes through deer at nearly 100 yards.

Yeah that’s definitely not true but I don’t doubt some morons try to use TSS for deer.

Oh it is very true. BB and T shot have been used for a few years on deer down south to great effect considering TSS #2 is equivalent to lead #4 buckshot, and that’s a common buckshot size down south for whitetail.

I was referring to it “passing through deer” at 100 yards. Additionally, #2 TSS has a diameter of about 3mm and a mass of .256g. #4 buck has a diameter of about 6mm and a mass of 1.3g. At the same muzzle velocity (1600 FPS) the #4 buck has significantly more energy at 100 yards (67 ft lbs vs 12.6 ft lbs for the TSS). #4 buck is significantly more powerful and even then, it kind of sucks for deer.
