from Canada. I load RGL hulls with 1 oz #8 and universal powder. My favorite load for trap has been 19 .3 grains using my Lee load all, using the same powder bushing, the new powder measured 19.5 grains. Shot 25 targets and no noticeable increase in felt recoil. also the barrel was very clean.

no, its a different color, more red, less tan and hodgon has acknowledged they have a density problem and each keg of powder needs to be checked for higher weight for the same volume.

Glad it worked well. I have found that 700X varies from lot to lot - not quite enough to make me change bushings.
Regards,
Jeff
