WTS/WTT WA Hodgdon Hi-Skor 700-X Smokeless Powder

[benchmark]

Received this as a gift from my honey, but I have never used this manufacture before and do not feel like learning. It was purchased on 4/19 from Cabelas and it has not been opened. I have the receipt. Looking for $15. It cost $20.99. I was also given the Lyman Pistol and Revolver Third Edition book and have enough manuals in my library, asking for $15 for it. It cost $20. Let me know and happy loading. Cheers!

Once under the DuPont label 700X is a fast burning powder, great for 1-1/8 - 1 ounce shotgun loads and is a good and accurate pistol powder. Not much good in heavy stuff like .44 mag more for the .38 / .357 and down 9mm and so on. I liked it, very universal powder. If the SHTF, This kind of sTuff will be handy.

low recoil for 9mm

How about for .45acp?

low recoil for 9mm

I presume that then would be low recoil then for the .45acp. Just not wanting to use something out of the ordinary. I'm more used to Accurate #5.

I have never used this powder with bullets over 160 grains or above .38 caliber. I have loaded the max in a 9mm some time ago and it was 4 grains which is a lot of material in the case behind a cast 121 grain pill. Dead Accurate round -
I don't think a guy could dbl. charge a case without spilling over the rim.

9MM ceases are dangerous, pressure will increase rapidly as the bullet is seated deeper and deeper in the case. Just be careful slamming rounds into the chamber and having the projectile creep further into the case and having thoughts like I will just pop that one, Bad!

I have loaded 4.7 grains for 230 grain plenty of times
Just research load data start low and you should be fine
