For 38Special, 40S&W and 10MM. I'm looking for medium to upper medium loads for jacketed bullets in all weights that's clean burning and consistent metering. Looking for 1 powder that does it all.
Hi-Skor 800X

There are published loads for 800X in all three calibers using jacketed bullets. If used with a heavier bullet and a good crimp, it will burn fairly clean. Okay, it doesn't meter well, but that can be addressed to some extent by technique. I have had good luck with giving the powder measure a healthy slap on the top of the reservoir and a second slap to the side of the reservoir prior to dispensing each load and the drops are consistent enough.

Of course, I load on a single stage press so I normally just skip the powder measure abuse and just throw the charges light and trickle them up to the desired weight.
