I just made a good sized powder purchase and it includes an 8 lb jug of 700-x. I have done a little looking and as Jared told me, it’s useful in similar calibers as Bullseye would be used in.
Does anyone have any specific uses for it that they have found above and beyond? If not, I’ll probably just load up some bulk 9mm and .38 loads with it, or see if a shotgun loader would like to have it.
Hi-Skor 700x uses?

I used it in some 44 special loads and got good groups. My notes have a "load this again" note on the target.

I've only used it in 38 target loads & that was years ago.

Works really well in 32 H&R with HBWC. Go to Hodgdon Pistol Data, check the 700-X box, then look at cartridge list for applications. 45 years ago I burned several pounds under 200 gr. 45 acp SWC's. USPSA major power factor loads.

I've found that a 185 gr jhp in .45 ACP over 4.5 grs 700X is very accurate

I acquired, from somewhere forgotten, a pound and haven't thought to look. I might need to try it out.

I tell my wife “I write for me”. I wish I had nicer handwriting but I’m usually in a hurry and mine is a messy mix of ugly cursive and sloppy, hurried printing…
Mine is just printed .. I only do my signature in cursive.

It appears cursive may be dying out.

This is alarming to many people, but I'm not so sure its time has just passed. If it were essential, it would survive.
I don't know. People don't read much anymore.

Writing has gone the way of the dodo. They don't even have to type texts anymore. Just tell the phone to text and speak what you want sent.
One day the electricity will fail, the batteries will die, and no one will know how to tie their shoes and won't be able to Google it to find out.
