I hope you are weighing your loads. I stopped using 700x because it would not measure consistantly with my powder measure. I prefer ball type powders for pistol loads mostly because of how well they work with my powder measure. I once used 700x a lot with shotgun loads and with .38 specials in the days I measured every load to get the most accurate load I could get for pistol loads. Most ball powders will give you a much wider range between max. and min. levels than you get with 700x and that translates to making it easier to find a load that works well. Powder costs less than any other component used for pistol ammo. I think it is well worth the cost to just use one that works well rather than trying to stay with just one powder.
