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.
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.
26 grs under a 1 1/4 oz with a little buffer does a fine job in money shoots ! Rio Blue short B/W hulls with a CB1114 wad !

800x does have a metering issue sometimes. Say if you're running a PW reloader with a newer style powder popper and shot, I have very little problem maybe 2/10 different in powder drop. If you run a Mac and you don't use a tube extension, the aluminum one you will have some problems. But I've literally ran 30 lb of that powder through loaders and not have that many problems. It just depends if you're willing to sit down and figure out any problems you may run into. Some people do not have the patience for it. Just my two cents
Used 800x for a long time and loaded it thru a Mec 9000H. Worst variant was .2 at the most, usually within 1 tenth. My set-up was.. hang a dryer sheet with a zip tie in the bottle for static, and use a bushing, not an adjustable bar. Use the smaller bushing and use a counter bore at the top to get what you need for drop weight. Polish the cut and your good to go. The bushing acts like a black powder measure, the powder heaps when droped but is cut off when the bar come across eliminating the big flake syndrome Loved that powder..
