It seems that 800X never shows up as a preferred or loved pistol powder for 9mm or 40S&W even though load data can be found. I understand that it does not meter well, and you can get under/over charges depending on what you use the measure your powder. I currently weigh each load, so possible under/over charges is not a concern unless I make a mistake.
Locally it has been very difficult to find any pistol powder, but 800X will show up once in a while. I have never used 800X, but would be willing to try it out if I have a better understanding why loaders don't like it as a pistol powder.
I would appreciate it if you can comment on why you don't like 800X as a pistol powder, especially for 9mm and 40S&W. Your comments will help me decide if I want to spend the money on 800X to work up some loads even with the possible shortcomings.
