After searching around for a high velocity/low pressure 10mm load that I could use safely in my Glock 29 I decided to buy some 800-x. The data looks great, the new Hodgdon manual shows 1350fps with 9.8gr under a 155gr JHP at only 30,000 psi. That was exactly what I was looking for ... but I'm having trouble getting accurate metering from my Dillon 550. If I fill the powder measure about 1/2 way and give it a little smack before pulling the handle each time it does better, but I still get about a + or - .3gr variation.
So, any tips on getting accurate metering with 800-x and a Dillon? If it's a known problem, then are there any other powders that can do high velocity at low pressure for 10mm loads?
Thanks!
