    I'll be loading 115 gr 9mm and 230 gr 45acp for now.

    Here's the list of powders that I've been searching for (based on several reloading manuals and data sheets)

    Accurate No. 5
    Accurate No. 7
    Alliant Bullseye
    Alliant Unique
    Hodgdon HS-6
    IMR 700X
    IMR 4756
    IMR 7625
    Winchester 231
    Power Pistol

    I'm open for any other powder suggestions as well. I've heard the 700x can be a little tricky using a volume measure like the Lee auto disk setup I've got. Thats stopping me from buying the 8 pounder of it from ReloadingZone.

    I have lots of 700x. I'd gladly sell you a pound at market rate to try out. If interested PM me.

    Yep. Buy it cheap and stack it deep. I load AA7 for everything from 9mak to 45acp. Not the most popular but I like it.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    PVI isn't taking backorders...at least not from us commoners

    From their home page:

    We are currently processing orders within 3 days of order placement.

    You will receive an invoice when your order is processed
    and receive tracking information when the order ships.

    BACKORDERS: (Effective 01/29/13 at 8 AM ET)
    Due to the overwhelming number of orders and the extreme supply shortages we are temporarily discontinuing our policy of accepting backorders. Orders that are placed for items listed as "Out of Stock" on the website will be immediately cancelled. All customers who have backorders in our system currently will not be affected and these orders will be processed as soon as the items become available. We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We hope to return to accepting backorders once we have obtained a manageable level of orders to be shipped.
