As Brother Fabian said, it is an excellent, if somewhat $$$, product. I watched quite a few ducks fall to it in factory shells and handloads last week in Quebec.

No doubt it's a bit pricey but if my Kentucky Ciphering is accurate it looks about $2.08 per 1oz load vs $3.00 per for the 16ga. 1oz hevi -shot.
If you guy's have seen good results it might be worth trying out some Pheasant loads this year. |

I too reload it in #5 for ducks (I only use 7/8 oz and it works great!). Good product.

While I have not tried ecotungsten, I just loaded up some ITX shot from Ballistic Products. I like the looks of it and think it'll be a good alternative. I'll be giving it a go on Ducks here in MN real soon.

Bob, I would like to hear what you think of the ITX, I want to try it in the future.

Brad,
RST has Nice Shot loads. One of the things they have found is that a lighter load ie: 1 1/4 oz in a 10 gauge or 1 oz in a 12 gauge etc gives the best preformance. As noted on the producers web site, nice shot will give a slight jump in pressure. If you are reloading low pressure shells there should be no problems. Harry |

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
