700 x

All powder is dirty. Some powders claim to be clean burning but the fact is....all powders are dirty. It's just the nature of the combustion process.
700X is a very energetic, fast buring powder. Economical because of low throw weights, it is suitable in almost any application where low charges are an advantage. Careful & seasoned reloaders know that using small quantities of fast buring powder outclasses large quantities of slow burning powder. (Some magnums are an exception.)

Titegroup is out of stock and I totally didn't realize my 8lb jug is now empty lol
I use a Lee pro auto disk.
I think 231.
Seems a lot of loaders do use it.
My 460, 44 mag and 454 casull I use H110.
If I can get my hands on 125gr plated bullets for .357mag I'll use H110 for those too!

I use H110 for all magnum too. I bought a pound of 2400 but haven't had time to play with it. I'll also try some vectan Ba 6.5 when it's in stock, and if it's conclusive I might switch to it, cause of price (25$/1.1lbs instead of ~40$/lb for H110).

If you want a small upgrade that doesn't cost much, the lee auto-drum is better than the auto-disk imho. Also, personnaly I prefer 158grn for 357magnum. The little price increase (118$ instead of 110$) is worth it for 357magnum. In any case, western metal (a CGN sponsor) has both in stock (campro brand). They also have TG at 30-31$/lb so not a bad price. They offer free shipping for orders over 300$, so an order of bullets and a 8lbs jug of TG and you're good to go...

Of that list, 231 is a good back up powder to Titegroup.

Universal Clays meters well and is about the same speed as Unique. A very good powder when you want to load to a higher power factor.
 
The canadaammo 700x was on sale last year so I bought 5 pounds.
When canadaammo has the Dominion powders on sale you can't afford not to buy it.
Quite accurate in the .38 loads I've tried.
158gr cast swc with 3.6gr.
I used data from an IMR reloading manual.
Regular pressure.
 
I have a lot of left over 700x when I went out of trap shooting use it in 9mm with 124gr 4.2gr like it enough to used my 6-8 pouds left over.
 
I have used many pounds of 700X in pistol, shotgun and rifle. I use it mostly now for light loads in my old milsurps and plinking ammo for my sporters. I used to use Pro1000's, but mostly just used a Lyman turret and measure each charge on a digital scale for my handgun loads now.
