Scored Some Powder Today CHEEP

[Skeet 028]

Yeah I tried that race gun stuff way back yonder. Built mine on a 586. trigger job weight added...best trigger job I ever did too. Found out I couldn't hang with the big dogs of the time...or the little chihuahuas either for that matter. I used Red or Green Dot... whatever I used at the time in 12 ga. Still shot better than I could

I like it for my .45 ACP and 12 gauge shotgun. It meters about like other flake powders in my Lyman 55.

2.7 of 700X in .38Spl shoots sooooo good in both my model 14 and 52 that sometimes I look around just to make sure it's not somebody else holding the gun for me!
Yes,it doesn't flow easy but is so accurate that I don't care.It even brought me to 800X which meters even worse but as a medium load in my 44 Mag,even a difference of +- .2gr doesn't seem to matter on accuracy.It works so I keep using it.

Last weekend I sold 4 lbs of that 700X for what I paid for it all. Trap shooter bought it. I figure if I load it in 38 sp and 45 auto I can load a few thousand rounds. I no longer shoot target 12 ga so have no shotshell use for it. I also have a med keg of Green Dot and the aforementioned Herco so am good to go for 20 and 28 ga shot shells. I recently loaded a few rounds of wadcutters in 38 sp with some Win 230. I just had to try it. I used 800X at one time in 12 ga steel shot shells if I remember right. It was terrible throwing decent charges with a Mec Sizemaster. But if it was close the shells did what they were supposed to do. Dispatch ducks....mostly teal and baldpates

700X is pretty good in about any non-magnum handgun loading. Much like Bullseye, Clays, AA2, etc. Very economical, I have used it in .38 Special, .38 S&W, 9mm, .380, .44 Spl, and .45 ACP. Seems to meter OK for me. My go-to propellant, as the great majority of my handloads are on the light side. Reloading data abounds.

I will also try it in the 44 special. I have about a thousand cases and enough bullets. Might as well load 'em up. I looked up loading data today.
