Anybody that reloads, need info.

Has any of you reloaders tried the ITX shot? If so, how does it pattern? Which patterns better, 4's, 5's, or 6's. I found a guy that sells ammo and he has 20 gauge 3 inch magnums loaded with #4's ITX shot for $12.50 for a box of 5.

No need for #4s especially with HTL shot. Doubt there are many #4s in a 20 gauge load. Better off with #6s with the itx

This guy only loads the #4 shot in the ITX. If he loads #6's he calls it a special run and you have to buy a case of them. I was just goin to try them out if that shot patterned good. But if #4's pattern good, it doesn't make any difference if there is more shot in the 6's.

Don't waste your time with #4s. If it's due to the price just shoot the Winchester long beards. Not sure what the load size is but there are only 115 pellets per oz of ITX #4s.

20  guage so no long beards, most likely the Federal hevi 7s will out perform them easily, but for the price I would buy em and if they do not hold a nice pattern for turks they would make a great duck load.

No other factory load will outperform fed hw#7 in a 20.  If you want to out do that it's tss time.

This isn't factory ammo, its custom made ammo, my original question was, has anybody that reloads ever used the ITX heavier than lead shot?
