*Update...Ithaca Gun Company (Ohio) also approved the use of tungsten alloys such as Federal Heavyweight, Hevi•Shot, Hevi-13.

born2hunt...I would just run that through Les Hovencamp of Diamond Gunsmithing or Ithaca Gun Company first as you have a full choke...especially if it's an older model like mine. You might be fine, but I certainly wouldn't want you to risk damage to you or your Ithaca. Especially since there is a good lead option for lead and a full choke with the Winchester Rooster XR (similar to the Long Beard XR in respects to the resin buffer and tighter patterns...but, is available in 2 3/4"). But, I understand the desire to run the Hevi-Shot #7s with the pattern density. Send them an email, they responded rather quickly. Good luck!

What year is your gun ? Mine is a 1953. Either way, I agree, according to what Ive read the Roosters should be a great choice as well. Just have to pick some up and try them.
Genesis 1:26
   Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

1962.
I am going to try the Roosters as well. Let me know how you make out.
