I wish I had room in my house to do a full body mount of a swan flying and hang it with fishing line from the ceiling. There were a lot of birds and I wish I had taken more pictures. Here is a quick cell phone video to give you an idea of the numbers: https://youtu.be/qEzn0Kqksko

Matt, that is interesting what Ballistic Products said about ITX shot. I had "assumed" it was softer than steel and would be safe in composite barrels. Especially using black powder shells.

ITX is softer than steel but is harder than Bismuth and I suppose with larger shot could possibly be a problem with tight chokes. Ballistic Products is probably being extra cautious with what they recommend through damascus and twist steel barrels.
