It's a pain in my Lee progressive, inconsistent charges and gums stuff up. I would like to burn it up in my handguns if there is a trick to getting corn flakes to flow!

Yes... but there can be only one. The Lyman Gen 6 powder measure... it is a trickle measure that really don’t care what the powder is like.. it trickles it in with almost no variance.. very rarely a tenth of a grain short, but that is very rare. A slight tap and it goes dead on...

RCBS Chargemaster. It’s not going to work in any volume measure. You have to weigh every charge.
Dippers and trickler. Love the stuff, it meters like garbage, but makes awesome ammo.
I use dippers with that stuff.

The new LEE works with everything.
Time to get an RCBS chargemaster or Lyman Gen 6... I like the Gen6 cuz it takes up way less space on my bench, and under 200 bucks

Lyman 1200 DPS throws anything. https://www.lymanproducts.com/brands...er-system.html It doesn't show up on the latest product chart but this does.

I've not had issues using an RCBS Little Dandy with fixed cavity rotors. But, perhaps because I've turned those rotors several thousand times?

Are you folks saying that the fellows using 800X in shotgun loading are weighing each charge? If it meters as poorly as seems to be indicated by the posts here, I'm very surprised it is still produced since the margin for error, pressure wise, with a shotgun is somewhat smaller than with most handguns and rifles. Also, velocity can effect pattern and lead.

Lyman 55 measure .
Adjust the three slides to give you one narrow deep cavity . Note , a shallow wide cavity opening doesn't work well .
Operate the 55 in a consistent manner...every time .
This will work with flake powders even Unique .

Appreciate the info gents, I have 4# so I’ll try to get it to burn in something!
My MEC 600 jr. ain't scared of 800X.
But yeah, Lee scoops work great. Slow down and enjoy.

700X and 800X meters fine in shotgun quantities above 20 grains! It's the handgun 4-5-6 grain area that is hard.
My Lyman Accu-Measure does fine with either in "the load" quantities (~ 11-13 grains for rifle). Not sure about handgun quantities... I have better powders for that.
I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.
The BHN Deformation Formula, and why I don't use it.
How to find and fix sizing die eccentricity problems.
Do you trust your casting thermometer?
A few musings.
Load it a lot in shotshells, does the job and has good low chamber pressures. Load it in handgun rounds, and yeah, it meters poorly in some powder measures. ( RCBS Uniflow will meter it, but you have to have patience)But, it is awesome handgun powder!!!! Corn flakes is a good description of this powder!! .45 acp and 700x?? In my opinion only it’s a marriage made in heaven.
I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!
