Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waimea Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Leadslinga Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Shoer Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 4.8 grains of 700-x under a 160 or 170 grain bullet in .45 Colt is my go to load for my rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
