All this ad says is that its softer than OTHER tungsten based shot pellets, and its hardness is below the bottom line of 27 on the Brinell Hardness scale.Īt least the price for ITX shot is a bit lower than what is being charged for Hevi-shot, and for some of the others, including Nice shot. I had seen prior ads about this new non-toxic shot- just what we need, another kind of shot to add to our confusion- but still have not seen any details as to how it compares to lead. Unless the barrel is marked for " steel shot use", I would not gamble that the steel used is going to resist scoring ( deep scratches) from using this shot, even if its atomic weight is close to that of lead.ĭoes that Catalog say they have NICE SHOT available in bulk as a component? If so, that would be the first source I have heard about, since I began looking last Spring( a year ago). In any Black Powder shotgun barrel, I would be protecting the barrel by using a thick plastic shotcup made for Steel Shot loads. If you have a 10 gauge shotgun, or know someone who does, perhaps you can recover some of the cost using the hulls to reload with lead shot, or sell to that friend to use. HINT: a lot of shooters who are buying commercial shells are buying the largest 10 gauge shells they can find, as they hold the largest amount of shot per shell. Hopefully, there will not be any change in either the POI(center of pattern with the new shot) or in the pattern density. Then substitute the Nice shot for lead for a couple of shots to determine POI and pattern. Then, you have to find a source of the shells.ĭevelop your load using comparable lead shot. Only you can decide if shooting waterfowl with this stuff is worth the cost and time. If you are hunting ducks, or other waterfowl that have larger bag limits, its gets very expensive to use this, and other expensive shot. If you are only shooting Canada Geese, Bag limits are so small that you can perhaps justify scavenging some of these expensive shotgun shells to get the shot to put in your MLer. They seem to be about the first to have any of the non-toxic shot when the products become available as components for reloaders. The NICE shot is not yet available for sale as a component, but it will be very expensive when it IS available. IF you can find the shotgun shells, you have to buy them as a source of this shot.
