Hodgdon Hi-Skor
Hodgdon Hi-Skor 800-X
A coarse flake powder for heavy shotshell field loads and some high-performance handgun loads.
Discontinued. Canisters still circulate, but the maker no longer produces it — and load data for it may be withdrawn or archived.

Dropped from Hodgdon's current catalogue and burn rate chart, but load data is still published in the Reloading Data Center and canisters remain on retailer shelves. The coarse flake is known to meter less uniformly than spherical powders, so charge-to-charge consistency deserves checking.
Historically sold under the IMR / Hi-Skor label; Hodgdon now catalogues it as a Hodgdon-brand product.

Verify the charge, not just the recipe
Good data gets you a safe starting point. It does not tell you what actually went into the case on stroke 340 — a bridged measure, a double charge, a squib. That is what an RCM Laser Powder Check is for.
