    What else can I use this powder for?

    I was given about 6 lbs of this stuff. I don't reload shotgun. I can use it for 45ACP, but that's a LOT of 45. Have you used it for anything else? 300 whisper, 510 DTC, .223, .308, other ideas?

    "Hi-Skor" 700-X
    This extruded flake type powder is ideally suited for shotshell in 12 and 16 gauge where clay target and light field loads are the norm. It doubles as an excellent pistol target powder for such cartridges as the 38 Special and 45 ACP and many more.

      You could probably use it for ultra light loads in the 223 or 308. I've done it in the past with cast bullets and red dot or unique.

        Good idea:
        WTT, 6 pounds of powder for you to dig the holes for a new fence around my property. 18" min per hole, between 100-125 posts.

          I was thinking you might be able to dig some post holes rather quickly... but I don't think 6 lbs would be enough to do 100-125 18" deep post holes all at once...

            I use it fo rmy 45 acp loads also. A little dirty, but good groups. Just save it for your 45 and smile when you figure your cost per round.

              And your problem is?

              There are some things you can't have too much of:
              Sex
              Fun
              Happiness
              Guns
              Ammo

              Load it up.

                I know, and I have all the components too, but only 1 1911, now I'll have to buy a 45 carbine.

                    700X can be used in 38/357 cast or lead bullet loads also.
