Default ITX shot

ITX at $129.00 for 7lb. (over $1.15 per ounce) is high cost stuff. But if you want the best performance from non-tox shot this is suppose to be it.

I am hoping that lead is never completely outlawed! My shooting will be cut down dramatically.

That is about half the price of NiceShot. NiceShot does not require buffers and can be substituted for lead in your loading. How about ITX, can you use the same recipes? I am tempted to order some. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks, I'll compare those to lead load. If they look like the same velocity and pressure ITX may fill the bill in some low pressure loads.
