My
lgs had some 800x (imr) on the shelves so I decided to pick some up.
During my research I found that it works better with a heavier bullet.
So that being said...I decided to try it with my 9mm loads. Following
the cookbook, it said 4.5 to start but my research said start at 5.5. So
to be safe I loaded at 4.9 (115gr) it shot but would not cycle, so I
went back and loaded to 6.1 (Max was 6.5) and it shot like a champ. Then
I loaded some 124gr at 6.1 (the same parameters as 115gr) and it too
shot very well, with a little more felt recoil. I think I can bump them
down a little say 5.7-5.9 and it should be ok. So again if you see it on
the shelf, pick it up. It's a funny looking powder, looks like fish
food. Hope this helps, enjoy!
