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".

I used nothing but Winchester 540 for years shooting 28 gauge skeet . This stuff was great , then at some point they saw fit to quit selling it anylonger . It’s my understanding HS-6 is the same thing , but don’t take my word for it check into it before using . Well read this it says it is the same thing ! https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/hodgdon/hodgdon-hs-6 Quoted from the above link , HS-6 is truly an outstanding spherical propellant and identical to Winchester's discontinued 540
