Can I use claybuster fig 8 replacement wads with 700x? The load data says fig 8 wads but nothing about the cb 8118 fig 8 replacement wads. Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to the Hodgdon wad substitution chart, which has the answer to your question:

The Fig 8 OEM , is the same as the CB8118 by Claybuster and the DRRF8 by DownRange. The claybuster and DownRange wads are clones of the OEM and can be substituted.

On a rare occasion the CB wads will provide lower pressures than the OEM wad. The loading data will recognize this and call out the clone by number. Most commonly found when using WAA style wads.

17 to 17.2 gr. 700 X with 1oz. #8s it makes black dots on 16yrd line!
