This is a request to all fellow non-toxic reloaders for vintage doubles.
Please send a request to BPI for low pressure loading data for their non-toxic ITX shot.

Here is the request which I sent:
Dear Curmudgeon,
Is there a safety factor expressed in PSI for loading ITX instead of lead shot?
I load low pressure 2.88" "Short Ten" gauge and 12 gauge for Damascus side by sides such as Parker and LC Smith. I like to keep pressures at 8000 PSI or below. Many of my gun collecting peers tell me that they buy Nice Shot because they post a 1500 PSI safety factor. With that information it is easy to develop a waterfowl load based on a 6000 - 7000 reference load. I have shot Nice Shot for the past two seasons with great success. This year I purchased 21 pounds of ITX but now I realize that I do not have good low pressure data.
Goose and Duck season fast approaches. If you could provide low pressure data for us followers of the Damascus Deity you will earn a place in paradise. Or, we would at least buy more ITX!
