I was just wondering if anybody knows what the comparison is between ITX Shot and Bismuth. If I could use ITX Shot instead of bismuth for my old parker?
Thanks

I spoke with Dave over at BPI today and he mentioned that ITX falls between bismuth and lead in density. And that it is soft enough to see barrel contact like in loads that use brush wads and stacked card loads. He has plans of releasing smaller sizes next year. He also mentioned that hunters are reporting fantastic results with it when used on geese. They are currently developing more load data for it. |
