in the 12 ga my 700-x loads are from 5000 psi to 6500 psi and they seem to shoot just fine. i shot 6 rounds of trap and skeet on new years day at 13 to 20 degree temps. i had 1 bad shell and i think i tried to get one to many loads out of it, the crimp was not tight. i like 700-x and i have had good luck with it for the last 40 years. i load STS and win AA hulls maybe that's better to load with for that type of powder???

What are the component combinations? I was looking at the IMR reloading center and they have 3/4 and 1 ounce loads in 12ga but no 7/8 loadings which is really weird. All the 3/4 ounce loads with 700-X with AA hull in 12ga were 7700 psi and up.
