I picked up 15 lbs of 700x yesterday for an unbelievable price of 24$. Anyone ever use it for pistol loads?

I thought I did good when I picked up a 14lb keg for $75!
I'm using it for reduced load's in just about everything.
i got 1 pound for free. i havent loaded any yet with it but its listed for a lot of pistol calibers. thats what i got it for.
I use it for .38 special and .45 acp. Works great.
Use it in 45ACP, 44 mag, 9mm
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H.L. Mencken
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.― H.L. Mencken
I've used a bunch of it in .38 and .45. Love the accuracy, low recoil, and low cleaning factor. Outstanding score, would you care to double your money?

It works great for all auto pistols
Also good for revolvers.
I was given 15# of it a few years ago.
It seems to meter best through my RCBS Little Dandy.....dale
I'm just starting to use in in my 577-450
I use it for .38 special and .357 loads.
I worked up a beautiful load for my 9mm with plated pills. Checkout Sierra's 5th edition for load data, hogdon's is quite conservative. About to start working up 38 special.
It's all I use for .38's, got a Square Deal that does nothing but chunk out 158gr. SWC loads with it.
That is a proven target 12 gauge shotgun powder for over 40 years. And while I still use it for that, it also works great in 9mm, 40 and 45 ACP. My Lee pro 100 doesn't meter well for target 38 special but for a plus P 38 and 125 grain lead bullet. 4.2 grains works well. This is also my load for the 9mm with a 125 grain lead bullet. 4.5 grains is what I am sending a 230 cast lead slug in the 45 ACP. works great. Also, 700X is hard to find in anything over 1 lb. containers. The 15 lb. steel jugs have not been available since shortly after 9/11. The biggest is 12 lb. plastic jugs but everyone is out.
Its great stuff, rifle, pistol, or shotgun. The older Lyman manual has a load for just about everything using it and I have tried a lot of them with good sucess. Its also a good keeper if kept cool and dry. 15 pounds will last you a long time. Good score on a great powder
I also have been using 700X in the 38/357 19 years. It was the first powder I used when I started reloading at 15 in an old taurus 357. For a kid with a only a summer job the price was great, I could shoot a lot of cast boolits with those 8OZ cans. I now run it in the 45ACP and many more too.
I have used it in al of my pistols from 32 to45 and it works good.
Are my kids/grandkids more important than "o"'s kids, to me they are,darn tooting they are!!! They deserve the same armed protection afforded "o"'s kids.
I have been hoodwinked but not by"o"
In God we trust,in "o" never trust

I use it in 32acp, 38spl, 357mag, 45 all with good results
Looking for: 32acp mold-- 22 hornet jwords-- 7.62x54r- jwords, boolits, mold-- 7x57 brass, mold---7.62 Nagant-brass-- 8x56r-brass, jwords-- any old firearm laying around ( I'm starting to take gun smithing classes, and I'm looking for pieces I can work on, PM me with your details)

15lbs for $24.00? geeeeze I wish I could find some at that price.... If you were loading a 45acp at max load you would have enough powder to load 21,000 boolits. Even more if you were loading a 9mm You may want to stock up on primers!!!

I called it the "Grey Ghost" powder when used in my shotguns. After a night of skeet shooting 3 or 4 boxes my barrel would have a grey dusty coating as long as a foot back from the muzzel. It did the same dusty thing with handgun shooting over a 2 or 3 box shoot. Good powder, just a mite dusty.Robert
