My 45 ACP bullseye pistol load is 3.8 gr. HS-700X, Rem 2.5 LP primer, behind 185 gr. Star LSWCHP - very accurate at 25 yards. HS-700X provides some very accurate loads in pistol cartridges with lead bullets. However in my expereince it is not clean burning as you always get many unburned powder grains over your shooting hand. In 44 Special with 246 gr. Keith LSWC, 4.2 gr. HS-700X and FLP gave me 629 fps. I have recently switched to Trail Boss for all my lead bullet revolver loads.
