I should point out that ITX is not the same as NiceShot/EcoTungsten, although both are useable in traditional loads.medic302 said:you don't have to use steel shot either, you can use both bismuth and ITX (nice shot) too.
Moose_Owner said:The Pedersoli SxS is a nice gun to start with. In my view there is not a better muzzleloadig shotgun to get started with. However, there are two issues which you might want to consider regarding the Pedersoli:
First, I have two Pedersoli SxS and have patterned a number of others. The barrels on many of them are not very well regulated -- that is the barrels shoot to different points of impact. If the barrels on your Pedersoli are not well regulated, that is something which you just have to learn to live with.
Second, if you want to get serious about muzzleloading trap, most serious trap shooters use a gun with a single sighting plane; such as a single barrel or an o/u. On the other hand, most of the dedicated muzzleloading trap guns are not well suited to hunting. So any gun which you start with will be a trade off -- but really fun to shoot.
