    700-x

    Just ordered 8 pounds of 700-X from Cabelas (Bass Pro) for $229 + tax. No shipping if you pick it up at your local store. I've never tried it, but heard good things about it (shoot lots of trap and use Clays).

    That is an awesome price!!!! And, you will love this powder!! I have burned up a LOT of 700x back in the skeet and trap games!
    I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!

    Great trap powder but dirty if the pressures aren't kept high.

    Used a few hundred lbs in Trap & Skeet loads in the 1960's & 70's. It also works Great in .45Colt
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    Nice soft load for a 44 mag with the 240 gr cast. Or 45 ACP with 200 or 230gr cast.

    Works well in 9MM when loading for 125gr lead cast bullets.

    Take Care

    Shot a lot of it 7 grains at a time under Keith boolits in .44 mag. Very clean burning.

    700x was the first powder i ever reloaded with, a pound seemed to last forever with light loads under 32-30 bullets in a 30/40 Krag. That old Krag accounted for a lot of squirrels and rabbits when i was a teenager wandering around the woods.

    Yep, when my son shot on a trap league for 6 years, I went through about 12 lbs. ( they used to sell 12 lb. Kegs until after 9/11) every 15 months. It still works for my sporting clays use plus 45 acp and cowboy loads in 45 colt, 44 magnum and 44 special.

    One of my favorites for .45 ACP and .38 Spl. Push it just slightly hard, and it'll burn very cleanly.

    He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool become servant to the wise of heart. Proverbs 11:29
