800x loads

[xring62]

I have found myself without normal powders for pistol,I have 800 x Im starting to test in .40cal S&W ,cant find the right data ,little is out there for bullets I have.155gr lead semi wads. I came up with 5.7grs /1.126oal as a starting charge. Anyone have experiance with 800 OR 700x also ?

I load a lot of 700x, use it in my 9mm,38spl.45acp and 12 gauge it is dirty,but cheap Never had any reason to change .

I've done both, I stopped using 800x because of the way it meters, or doesn't meter. 700x is good stuff though, especially for 45acp, never tried it in 40.

Any data on 9-40-45 ? Ill get to testing for all 3 soon as I can

800x is NOT made for 40s&w.

9 and 45 are ok, but 40 is a no go.

700x will work with all 3. Data.hodgdon.com should have all the info on 700x

The newest Hornady data book (9th edition) lists load data for IMR 800x for some of its .40 projectiles. I have not used this powder for .40 before.

I use 800x for 45. I use data.hodgdon.com for load data.
