I'm in the same boat as you guys. Down to about 2lbs. of Universal. Gonna go to some 20/28 if I can find it.

Sam;
If you can find 20/28 you'll find it works very well. It may not be as clean but it is economical and I now use it for 28,20 and 16ga. loads.

Sam I to used universal, but it is almost gone so I have been using long shot and it works. It develops low pressures but takes more of it. I've found it patterns well with most loads ( all 3/4 oz) and I have 8 lbs of it.

Longshot, 800x and universal all work well in my repro. I have a 7625 recipe that I plan to try also.

Because it is a large flake powder, 800X has a deserved reputation for poor metering through small diameter powder bushings. When it was first introduced, 800X was billed as a 12 ga. target powder (not) and has since moved to the 12 ga. porch-load niche.

I have used 800X for 1 1/4 oz loads for pheasant fields trials, where long range shots are the norm. I think the load is better than you can buy. Dirty, but who cares - I clean the gun each day anyway

While I'm no reloading expert, and have not dabbled in a wide variety of powders and loads, I have had wonderful luck with Green Dot. A flexible powder in 12, 20, & 28 ga loads. It still seems to be somewhat "available".
