With the RCBS it would occasionally (like 4-5%) throw one significantly worse than that. Yes, I metered out 100 and weighed every one of them. I tried static abatement but got nowhere. The only way I can get it to throw is by attaching some sort of agitator.
Some seem to not have problems while others with the same equipment don't. I can't explain it. If it works for you great! If you're new to it go the extra length to verify what it's throwing. I definitely noticed the occasional under-charge while shooting.
It you can throw 700-X, how about 800-X?

No experience with 700-X, but I've used 800-X and it's terrible in a Redding pistol powder measure. It's certainly an unfortunate situation as I did develop some good accurate loads with 800-X. I don't know if they still market this powder.
