Hornady doesnt list 700x but Universal Clays is from the book

5.4grains starting at 700 fps
6.1 grains at 850 fps
and max red line at 6.4 grains at 900fps


700x is in the 230g lrn lead round nose and that is

4.3g at 750fps
5.2g at 850 fps
and max at 5.6g at 900 fps

you could probably start with 4.3g and work your way up the ladder with 700x
