The Hodgdon Hi-Skor 700X delivers consistent performance for light to medium shotshell loads across multiple gauges. This fast-burning powder produces clean combustion with minimal residue buildup in shotgun actions.
What Makes This Different
Hi-Skor 700X burns cleaner than many competing powders, reducing fouling that can affect cycling in semi-automatic shotguns. The powder's burn rate falls between Bullseye and Unique, making it versatile for 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauge applications. Consistent lot-to-lot performance ensures reliable velocities when following published load data.
Key Features
- Fast-burning rate ideal for light trap and skeet loads
- Clean combustion reduces barrel and action fouling
- Compatible with 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauge shells
- Consistent metering through powder measures
- 14-ounce container provides approximately 980 charges at 14 grains
- Spherical powder structure flows smoothly through dispensing equipment
- Temperature stable performance across seasonal conditions
This powder excels in competitive shooting applications where consistent velocities matter. Trap shooters appreciate the reduced recoil in light loads while maintaining sufficient power to break targets reliably. The clean-burning characteristics mean less cleaning time between shooting sessions and reduced maintenance on gas-operated shotguns.
