Does it load like lead ?.just want to know because UK banned lead for waterfowl to but not 8 ga guns or 4 ga or even 2's

Nice Shot loads the same as lead. I been using it for a few years and like it. The verdict is still out on the ITX do to lack of reloading data.

Do you load it for a 8 ga ?

Labowner · 08-22-2010, 09:05 PM

No, I load it for my 10 and 12ga. guns. Not lucky enough to have a 8 yet. Others here load for the eight.

How many shells does 2 lbs of nice shot load for your ten in what charge of shot ?. Have you used it on waterfowl yet ?

I load 1 3/8's because it fills the shot cup [25 shells + -] Get a roll crimping tool that fits in a battery operated drill and you can mark your shells with load and shot size. Don't want to shoot a box of nontoxic at crows, right Scott

Yes on the water fowl, that's all I use it for. It is pricey but when you get that ten dialed in, it will amaze you.
