I've tried 800X in 9X18, 9X19, 40SW, and 45ACP; using a variety of charge weights with a variety of bullets. It works best with heavier bullets at or near max. Light loads were very dirty with lots of unburned powder.

I didn't try it with magnum primers, but think it should do better with the mag primers for starting loads and closer to max loads.
