Thanks for the good video, I just bought some power pistol last night!

Great video and great information

I'm on the fence about 3D printing a few copies of this. I have one and really like it, but it might be a little bit more complex compared to the speed beez one. The video was helpful though.

According to QuickLOAD, this powder burns slow. I had loaded some 115 grain Speer Gold Dots, and even from a 16" barreled PCC, it only burns 94.39% of the powder. From a 4.1" barrel, only 83.24% is burned. That would be the reason people say there is a lot of muzzle flash. I tried a lot of combinations of bullet weights and calibers and I couldn't find anything I had for which it was ideally suited- 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .357 Mag. I said, "Oh, it needs heavier bullets," but still, no.

Added a KKM barrel to Glock 20 Gen 4 Especially for the chamber case support. Added a 22 pound spring and stainless rod. Shoot hot loaded 200gr XTP with Blue Dot. Ordered directly from KKM wait time 4 weeks.

Great tip

Brilliant! Just picked up the new 750 and that's the tip I was looking for, thank you

I have been testing this in my 45acp 1911 GI Model and I was shooting 200 grain SWC's and all I had to go on was 200 grain JHP data was the only 200g data hodgdon gave out. So since I know the swc has a better coefficient than the JHP I decided to start a couple bumps below the minimum charge. I used 6.8g initially and case's appeared normal and recoil was easily managed and it cycled well.so I worked up to 7.2g seared and lightly crimped at an OAL of 1.2100" to 1.2150" and that is my magic number. I wish I had a crony to see how fast they're going...maybe one day I'll get one, I don't shoot comp though I just want to satisfy curiosity more than anything haha

Have you tried this in 45 acp? I'm looking for decent not perfect case filling powder or better capacity than Bullseye or Titegroup not a fan of the fast burners

Pact have the worst manual. I thought I was semi technical as long as the instructions are clear

Great low dollar idea! Love it

Yeah they suck

The calculations are all functions built into Excel or LibreOffice Calc/Google Sheets. All you need is the raw shot data. the info on the receipt tape is calculated at the time of printing using the raw data, because the raw data is all that is actually saved in the memory.

Thanks for the great video. My Comp 3s that I have had for 25 years here in Australia have started to be hard to load. You push down and twist but they often will not "grab" the cartridges. I have to try several times for them to work. I tried spraying with lubricant but no improvement. Despite their age they get only occasional use so I don't think they are worn and am assuming they are just dirty inside. I looked at taking them apart but the blind hole you mentioned was the problem. I will follow your example and disassemble them for cleaning.

Thank you for the review. That’s the exact same reason I purchased a KKM. Just curious, do you have a preferred overall length for the 9mm kkm? Did you have to adjust your reloads at all to fit the barrel?

Just tried 9mm, works on mine.

Too simple. Surely there's a harder way to do this.

I have a 2019 XL650 and all this can be done with a open end wrench and allen wrench. That c-clip is not part of the punch anymore they put a allen head screw in the back of the punch pin and a screw holds the washer in place. Super easy to change.

Gives great results in 10mm with 180gr loads,but meters like shit.

it's so much easier to just add a bullet feeder.. right after the powder charge.

Thanks.. not to stop the primer feed...

Been awhile since a comment but wish I had seen this video. Using a Dillon 750 for a 200grain 10mm. Inconsistent powder drop is a bummer

Made in the USA by illegal Mexicans.

Great idea, thanks

Progressive press and 800x equals trouble--can in fact bridge the dispensing opening. It is my go to hot powder for 45 acp/super and the 10mm

Great job

I also used it for 38 spcl at the max charge for 38 Spcl + P for 158 gn @ 5.5 gr and I got key holes. Upon close observation of the target, the bullet was so slow that it was ripping the target rather than punch a hole through. I will have to work on my own loading table to get it right. Thank you for the info.

This powder is sick with .40. You're looking at 10mm and .357 mag velocities with the right barrel.

This only works if you don’t have a automatic bullet feeder.

Are you sedated? It’s a review not a dictation. Would be much more useful to get to the point.

Sir: Your review would be LOTS more useful if you would get to the point quickly, then summarize your conclusions. Sorry, sir, but I just don't have time for rambling.... That being said, this propellant spoda be awesome for 185 gr 40 WIN and 200 gr 45 acp, according to Hornady Tenth edition.

Very nice trick. Thank you

Thanks very much for the tip. It saved me buying something elaborate that does the same thing. Well done.

Thank you brother for that tip.

Littlefinger from game of thrones reloading. Awesome

800X is a pain in the ass to use. The published load data is allover the map and quite honestly makes no sense. It meters like shit also. I've tried this powder in many different revolvers and always found unburnt powder. The muzzle flash per the video is correct as there are many sparks that come out of it. Unless someone gave it to you for free I would not recommend it.

Yeah, it's been said, but it needs repeating repeatedly: REMOVE THE PRIMER CAM BLOCK, DUMMY!!! One 5/32" hex bolt and it's off the press. No cam block, no primer arm activation. It comes off and bolts back on in less than 20 seconds. I'd like to think this guy's video is some kind of joke but it obviously isn't, which leads me to think he probably shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a reloading machine.

There really is not "minimum length" for straight-walled handgun cartridge cases and you'll rarely if ever find a case that's even as long as the published "minimum length" much less one that exceeds the "maximum case length" because of the huge variety/variance of ammunition/cases/handguns manufactured worldwide. A "failure to fire" from a "too short" case in a "too deep" chamber in a pistol that DOESN'T have sufficient firing pin travel to "reach" such a case as long as its somewhere in the "right ballpark" length-wise is much preferable to a pistol firing "out of battery" because its sloppily/poorly designed/constructed and unlike quality designs/guns that will "default" into a "failure to fire" mode and not drop the hammer or striker if at all "out of battery" and not fully locked up will fire a "too long" cartridge in a "too short" chamber. There are very few pistols made that don't have plenty of firing pin travel to reach the "too short" case and many pistols don't ACTUALLY "headspace on the case mouth" unless a "long" case happens to perfectly match the chamber length and there is "zero headspace" with the slide fully in battery and locked up. Instead, short cases are held back against the slide breech "face" by the EXTRACTOR which "flips over" the case rim during cycling when the cartridge is stripped from the magazine and is pushed upward and forward into the chamber and the extractor keeps the case from "bottoming out" in the chamber. If the extractor DOESN'T "grab" the case rim prior to lock-up and the case is super-short it can slide backward after being fired, snap itself under the extractor prior to unlocking and the slide beginning to move rearward and be extracted/ejected normally. Regardless, its only with a cartridge gauge with its "chamber" cut to the absolute minimum chamber depth specification that you'll see the "average" pistol case here in the "civilized world" made by a quality manufacturer actually "headspace" on the case mouth in that cartridge gauge. And one of those gauges used to check finished cartridges for COL and proper case outside diameter (those "chambers" are also cut to minimum diameter specifications so bulged/distorted cartridges coming out of a factory box or reloading press won't drop in and fall out of them by gravity alone the way good, properly dimensioned cartridges will) is all you need to check your cases for "correct" length prior to reloading. There is no expanding/sizing "ball" in straight-wall handgun/rifle cartridge dies and the cases are only "shrunk down" to proper OD during "sizing" and shouldn't "grow" the way a bottlenecked case can and will as the sizing ball and die "squeeze" the brass case mouth/neck between them and force extra brass thickness into extra brass length. Straight-walled cases also don't concentrate huge amounts of chamber pressure into a progressively smaller "space" during firing and push against the bullet/crimp/shoulder simultaneously with the 50,000+ psi rifle cartridges can generate to "stretch" cases. And "high-pressure" pistol cartridges like 9mm and .40 and 10mm "work-harden" the case mouth and after a handful of reloading/shooting cycles they'll usually split a case mouth during firing or finish splitting it during bullet expanding/seating. Which is why many shooters/reloaders either reload those high-pressure cartridge cases very lightly for low-recoil "plinking" rounds or toss them after a certain number of "full power" reloads. Avoiding actual crimping of the case mouths and only removing the "bell" from expansion using something like a Lee Factory Crimp Die also extends case life and reduces pressures. Low-pressure .45 ACP cases which at worst in "+P" and "+P+" loads are only subjected to half of what 9mm and .40 and 10mm cases are subjected to and use the very large diameter and bullet base area of those .45-caliber bullets to generate similar energy with half the pressure can and will last dozens to even hundreds of reloads without stretching or splitting and after that much use will STILL be "short" compared to "published" case length specs according to SAAMI. When it comes to straight-wall cases and in particular TRUE straight-wall cases with no case taper like .45 ACP (9mm cases have a slight and measurable taper from case head to case mouth because the Europeans were slow getting the news that case taper is not required for "reliable" chambering/extraction IF semi-auto/full-auto firearms are designed properly so that unlocking/extraction is delayed until the case have "shrunk" post-firing and taper can actually case "sticking" since that "taper fit" can lock short/small cases in a long/large chamber due to excessive expansion beyond the elastic limits of the case and its material or due to long/large cases jammed into short/small chambers during chambering) we have "SAAMI" specs for cartridges/chambers primarily so finished cartridges/chambers can be measured and checked and verified to be "in specs" and those "specifications" when manufactured/proofed/procured/purchased etc. U.S. "domestic" cartridges like .45 ACP and firearms chambered for them are virtually all produced by a relative handful of quality manufacturers both here and overseas while "global" cartridges like 9mm and firearms chambered for them have been produced around the world by hundreds of manufacturers of every degree of "quality" and "skill" and "accuracy" and "precision" imaginable and that's why its smart to stick to only U.S.-produced or "properly" imported/inspected ammunition/firearms when it comes to the latter to make sure to get the "good stuff' while its almost impossible to find the former that ISN'T "good stuff". My reloading "mentor" who is extremely knowledgeable (former LEO, Cabela's gun library manager, lifelong shooter/hunter/reloader, etc) about guns and ammunition and reloading/handloading and very safety conscious and like me avoids "max" loads for all but a few hunting/defense situations and then only loads a few rounds at that level for it and carefully checks for pressure signs etc (I also own a chronograph while he does not) told me when I asked him why I couldn't find any "in spec" pistol cases that were even longer than the "minimum case length" so I could trim them that I should forget about trimming pistol cartridges unless I was a glutton for punishment and wanted to waste vast amounts of time and that I should even forget about measuring/checking them as they were reloaded and fired because the odds of a case "stretching" to the point of being "too long" before a case neck split given the loads/crimps necessary TO stretch pistol cases were between slim and none. He recommended that if I were loading "hot" ammunition for hunting/defense I purchase new high-quality commercial brass or only use once-fired "matched" brass and never fire and reload those "hot" and heavily crimped loads that way more than once and otherwise forget all the other "dos" and "safety rules" regarding case length checking, trimming, etc that apply to rifle cartridges and cases. And of course checking case length BEFORE final sizing is pointless and that should be done after everything that's going to be done in the way of "case prep" has been done. Tumbling can and will "bang" cases around against each other and can and will cause sized cases to "grow" at the necks and even brand-new out of the box/bag high-quality commercial cases should always be sized prior to loading them the first time. With rifle cases obviously you want to then check the lengths and any time a crimp is involved but a Lee Factory Crimp "collet style" crimping die isn't used of course case length must be consistent across the board or crimps will vary and some cases will be overcrimped and possibly bulged/distorted, some may not be crimped at all, etc. As for tumbling cases AFTER sizing and/or decapping, I did that ONCE when I was still dry tumbling. That dry media will stick in primer flash holes every time. Dry tumbling may reduce or if done very lightly and for a short period "eliminate" the need to size cases again but wet tumbling with stainless pins that WON'T stick in primer flash holes and will clean out primer pockets just as clean as a whistle will always necessitate resizing before loading. That's why its only for "precision ammo" or when I'm feeling ambitious or like making ammo really "pretty" for that brief period of time primer pockets and cases are empty and can be seen and appreciated for their shininess that I size/decap, wet tumble, rinse, dry, resize, check case length, trim if necessary and load cartridges and then only rifle cartridges and the the few "special" handgun cartridges I still reload on my single-stage press. That being all my .45 Colt, my .460 Rowland and my "defensive" and "match" .45 ACP. Everything else goes to the wet tumbler for initial cleaning, gets rinsed and dried and then goes right into my Dillon 550. I even load my .223 "plinking" ammo for my ARs loaded with "cheap" 55-grain bullets on my 550 and use a Lee Factory Crimp Die so i don't need to bother checking case lengths as I pull "new" cases out of the 5-gallon bucket of range-find .223/5.56 cases I scavenged/recovered/wet tumbled/rinsed/dried and stored so I should have enough to last forever. My .223 varmint ammo is another story and it gets the "full treatment" as does pretty much all of my other rifle ammo. I load 9mm through .460 Rowland and .223 through .50 BMG as well as cast bullets and convert cases for a couple "wildcat" and "obsolete" cartridges like .223 (actually once-fired Lake City 5.56) converted to 7.62x40WT and .308 Winchester converted to .300 Savage and shoot guns from .22 rimfire pistols to an Armalite AR-50. I'm no "expert" but I do know from experience and "education" via actual "experts" that checking case lengths on pistol cases is pretty much a waste of time. Especially prior to sizing/tumbling/resizing them. Case length comes LAST.

Just want to clarify I have a lee load master i use a Lee auto drum to dispense my powder I had no problem dispensing this 800 X powder I checked 15 charges at 4.9 grains with 124 grain lead bullet and had no problems great accuracy so I’m sorry to he you all had problems dispensing this powder

I guess I’m one of the lucky ones i had no problem’s at all with 800X Great accuracy great powder little dirty after 200 rounds but that 800X worked great in my opinion meter good great accuracy all-around good powder

wow!

Maybe something could pivot off the failsafe return bracket (black thing) and go under? I'm not taking the damned primer cam off...

I use it for 9mm , tried it for 38spl, what load do you recomend for 38 spl using power pistol. Thanks.

I’m sure thats the only thing you own made from the good ol USA besides your Dillon press. Most parts are prob made in china as well

One of the last things made in the good old USofA... Sad the white Americans move all the work out the country and bitch about China’s products. China’s not the one to blame it’s the white mans doing... acknowledge your American counterparts greed before criticizing other countries.. in other countries citizens don’t complain about low paying hard work as long as they have a job and provide for their families. Americans on the other hand complain about everything.. we are so spoiled here that we take everything for granted and bitch at the end of the day.. I Am myself a proud American but I’m just telling the truth.. don’t like china products don’t buy them. easier said than done

Nice Catch, thanks, nice wind down step.
