Brent, I'm shooting reloads with a recipe the BP ITX manual, #4's and 2's. Once I use those up, I'll probably just buy the new 2 3/4" Bismuth loads that are now available. I have no qualms shooting any factory (or equivalent) 2 3/4" non-steel load in this gun, as the barrels are thick and flawless, and the wood is in fantastic shape as well.
