800X is a large flake powder and doesn't meter as well as many others. This is not to say it can't be used, and in a single stage press there isn't a problem. I tried using it for 28ga in a Mec 650 and it wouldn't meter. I called Mec and they told me not to use it with a 650 because the bushing was so small the powder drop would vary too much. With a progressive press the powder bushing only sits under the bottle for a very short period of time. In a single stage it would be ok because the bushing is under bottle while other operations are taken place and the bushing would fill properly. This may be where you heard of a problems with 800X.
