I use the CB-0175 wad for 3/4oz and don't use an overshot card. The 700 and 800 is a flake powder and will want to vary a little bit if you go too fast [ with the hole in the charge bar under the powder bottle ]. At one time I was trying to load 28ga shells with 800X on a progressive press and was all over the place with powder drops. Called Mec and was told with such a small drop to not use a 650 but to use a single stage press. He said the bar doesn't stay under the powder bottle long enough for consistent drops. Used it anyways but I would pull the handle down, hold it, and rap the bottle with the other hand. Was ok then, but went to a different powder next chance I had. The pistol shooters at the club were trying 700x but found their drops were changing 2 or 3 tenths. No big deal for shotgun, but not for pistol.
