    Love it. Used it for years,but its like hens teeth to find now. If you need more loads,PB is almost identical in reloading manual.

    I've used it for a long time. My PW seems to throw a very consistent load.

    800X is the worst metering powder I have ever seen. I had to weigh each powder charge to get the weights even close to being right.

    it had issues right from the start. many loaders just stuck 700x and turned their noses up to 800x.

    26 grs under a 1 1/4 oz with a little buffer does a fine job in money shoots !
