The ITX is not as dense as I would like. But, for the price, it works just fine. I shot through about 7lbs of #4 last fall and it really smacked the birds. I even shot a few canada geese last fall and some snows with the #4 in the spring. You can load up a 1 oz 12 ga load and it will have pretty much the same number of pellets as a 1 1/4 oz #4 lead load. I just stuffed some into some short 16ga shells and I am only able to get about 3/4 oz of shot into a Remington SP16 wad that is supposed to handle 1 1/8 oz of lead shot. 3/4oz of #4 ITX has really close to the number of pellets as 1 oz of lead #4. That would put it at about 75-80 % the density of lead. Still a lot better than steel shot....
Good luck this season
