Handloaded ITX shot from Ballistic Products has been very effective for me. I shoot 7/8 oz. #6 and #4 in a 2.5" hull 12ga. over a mild charge of PB, loads are in the Ballistic Products manual.

I used it almost exclusively out here on the saltwater estuaries. I've killed more ducks and geese with less shells than in the past with steel in a modern sxs. Loaded cost is about $30-$35/ bx not that much higher than premium steel.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.
