Salopian,

Come on over and we'll let you blow up a barrel! It's in our constitution. smile

Perhaps you know of many blown barrels, which I do not, from our free press and millions of shooters!

Mark

PS: I once read of a Brit complaining about us Yanks and our darn reloading. He had a point in that a seperated base wads lodged in barrels have been the cause of many burst barrels.

Why use ITX instead of NICE shot?

What am I missing?

ITX is cheaper than Nice shot and BPI often offers online flat rate shipping specials.
BPI offers ITX for $130 per 7 lbs. Precision normally sells Nice for $60 per 2.2 lbs. It is on special for $54 per 2.2 lbs this week. This summer BPI had a special on ITX that was 10% off its normal price. BPI's flat rate shipping special is $9 excluding lead shot. 7 lbs. of ITX ships for $9. I haven't noticed a price break on shipping from Precision, although I may have missed it.

I realy like Nice Shot and bought a bunch when in was sale with free shipping from Precision Reloading. I also bought a bunch of ITX when it was on sale at BPI with what I thought woudl be flat rate shipping. Nope! Shot is exempt from BPI's flat rate shipping.

Tungston will continue to increase in price. Better stock up on good non=toxic when it's on sale.

I bought 7 lbs of ITX this month from BPI and it was shipped at the $8.99 rate. Lead shot doesn't qualify for the special rate.
