Agree with Gdawgs, 700X doesn't LOOK much different from Clays or Solo 1000 but it does not measure as well. I have a vibrator on my Dillon powder measure to get even reasonably consistent loads with it. Legacy powder from when I shot a lot of trap, using it up at 3.5-5.4 grains a whack in pistols is not like 17.5 in a 12 gauge.

Oh, by the way, Sevens; 700X is an IMR product, not one of the Alliant "Dot" series.
