Big Gus, SASS# 66666 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Posted March 9, 2022 Found some in my lee manual. Going to buy it tomorrow.
watab kid Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 its a shotgun powder that has a burn rate close to red dot , clays , etc , i use the same load with all three in mine but i seldom have 700X ,
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 I loaded a couple of hundred about 5 years ago in.357 cases since my rifle loads 357 length better. When I shot them I got very good accuracy, moderate recoil and they were fairly clean . The data came from the Lyman #50 manual. 2.7 gr of 700x behind a 125 gr RNFP in Federal Ni cases with Federal sp primers. I think you will like the results. At the time I was running out of Solo1000 and trying replacement powders, 700x was not very available but I had some from Dad's collection so I tried it . Ultimately I went with Shooters World Cleanshot as it was more available and I liked it ,and still do. Imis
Waimea Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 I bought 16# of it about 5 years ago. Just fished the first jug. I use the same load for .38 110, 125, 157: 2.75gr. Works great. Meters well.
Reverend Leadslinga Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Three grains of 700x with a 95 100 or 105 will work all day long. You could drop it down to 2.6 or 2.7 even if you wanted to. It can be temperature and position sensitive though.
Hoss Shoer Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 I bought 10#'s from an estate, 700x works in a wide range of cartridges. Check out the Hodgen reloading data online. I've been loading 3.2 gr , 125 Cheycast and 130 Summer Enterprises bullets. Both bullets are coated in Hitek. Seems like a good load. Just my opinion, hope it helps HS
Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 4.8 grains of 700-x under a 160 or 170 grain bullet in .45 Colt is my go to load for my rifle.
