Very impressed with my 'best group', as always, my second shot is high and to the left. Excluding that 'flyer', its a sub 1 moa group (3/4"), counting the flyer its 1.5" from just under 25 feet.




The only negative - My wife said they were cute and looked like little lipsticks - lol

How are you weighing the charges? 800-X is a pain through a thrower I'm wondering if this stuff is any better.

I've never used 800-X, just Hodgdon HP38 and various Vihtavuori. I measured 10 separate charges through my lee pro 1000's Auto-Disk Powder Measure, I think one was just over at 4.3 and two at 4.2. You have me curious, I going to measure it again. The hardest thing was figuring out what disk to use.

OK - 1st thing, it was 4.4 gr, lee disk 0.61, (updated post), i was going from memory, which is not a good thing lol.
I did 10 new measurements (that't not easy on a pro 1000), and I got;
7 @ 4.4,
1 @ 4.3,
1 @ 4.5
1 @ 4.6
Then measured all 10 and I got 44.2

Here is a pic of what the powder looks like - best i can tell they are flakes at 84 thousands, they seem to be fairly uniform

 
I didn't get the D800, because the worry of my powder thrower wouldn't like it much...so I got some titegroup instead(on sale). Any load data anyone would share for the red poly bullet with titegroup powder? Anything would be much appreciated.

With Titegroup I started with 4.4 and worked up to 4.7. OAL (1.10) is critical as these bullets are not as uniform as campro.

Thank you for sharing your data with everyone, but you need to learn what MOA means. A 3/4" group at 25 feet is 8.6 minutes of angle. It's a function of group size and target range.
 
Thanks for the report.

I use 3.4 of Titegroup with 125 LRN. Have a look at Hodgdon Data Center.

700X meters OK at 4.3 grs and above with the LEE Auto-Disk, with variations similar to the ones above.
