It looks like 800-X is discontinued. https://shop.hodgdon.com/hodgdon/hodgdon-hi-skor-800-x

Now what am I going to use to launch 10mm bullets? What's the closest alternative?

Glad I have a good supply of it to keep me in 10mm heavy cast woods loads for the foreseeable future. Blue dot and aa#9 work well for practice/ general purpose loads.

Surely there's plenty of options out there?

That's why I'm asking.

You're confused with @Stomper, aka "Billie Jewell"

I used Power Pistol. Now will use either Unique or Autocomp.
A little while back, saw 3N37 available.

When I was loading 10mm, I liked 3N37.

You like big, fluffy powder like 800X? How about Herco, it's a fluffy case-filler. You don't see many recommendations for it anymore, now that there are so many newer powders out. But Alliant used to publish 10mm data for it. It's a bit faster than 800X but would be good for mid-range loads. Blue Dot is pretty fluffy, better for hotter loads.

Others I've successfully used in 10mm are Ramshot Silhouette and Vectan AO.

CFE Pistol has some promise. I'll definitely try some loads once I can actually buy some.

CFE pistol is excellent in 10mm and meters well.

Real close is Win WSF and IMR 4756, I've seen allot of WSF around lately.

How much mileage do you get out of a lb of 800-X ?
edit : time wise. You should get ~ 700 rounds, give or take.
