700 & 800 x are completely different !!

700 is a sall flake similar to 231/hp-38 800 is the big flaked pain in the you know where !!!

But any powder can bridge or bind in the measure especially with small volume throws ,so we have to be diligent `bout double checkin behind ourselves !

I`ll say this though ,the bigger the case & the lower ya go the more sensitive it becomes (700 x) to the position in the case when fired & that`s the reason it`s no. 2 on the list .

Try pointin the muzzle down & bring it to target ,then muzzle up & down to target , any difference ????
