Thanks, Rob

If you are referring to Ballistic Products ITX shot I have not used it. There are 4 published loads for it for the short ten that I have found. Velocity and pressures are high for all of them. The harder the shot the higher the pressures. BP has put out a reloading data manual for it but I do not have a copy. I think this shot has a ring around it like the planet Saturn, I have always wondered how it would pattern.

I have used it on ducks and geese in my Parker 10 and love it. Load I am using is 33g of Universal and 1 1/4 oz of 4 shot. This load is high pressure however, 10500. My gun has been sleeved and can take that pressure. Getting ready to load some lower pressure with 7625 for a friend with Damascus barrels. These are Ballistic Products tested loads.
Hope this helps.
