Why #$%^&&**# 800X ?

Ive got a small drum of AL7 that is great for moderate target loads in 357, 45C and a couple of others. Its absolutely great in large capacity rifle cast bullet loads. Loads under 1600 FPS. 330 mag, 7mm mag, 375R- groups <1'.    Dearly would loved to have tried AL8 in 10mm and others. If its as consistant as the 7 it should e a great accuracy powder in the 10mm.

AL-8 was for my heavy 12 gauge duck and goose loads. Alcan powder, lead shot for waterfowl... the good old days!

I ran out years ago and just moved on. I bet that it would be fun to work up a load for 10mm using it. Honestly though, there are so many newer powders that work well that I don't think I would spend time or powder trying to figure it out. And even more honestly, I don't think I would buy any Al-7 or 8 if I found some; if a can fell out of the sky... who knows?
