How Well does Lucky SHD 400 push

I've been playing with push-processing of B&W film lately, and it can be expensive with good film. Does anyone have any experience with pushing SHD 400? If so, how high can it go?

I pushed Lucky 400 120 to 800 in both Acufine (7 mints) and Edwal 12 (10.5 mint). In Acufine the tones were very pleasing, the grain tight, in Edwal, overall just plain nasty. I guess that Lucky will push well in D 76, HC 110, DDX, or TMAX as well. I have a couple of rolls left and I plan to shoot at box speed and develop in DDX.

That's good to know. 800 would be nice, actually. But has anyone pushed this to, say, 3200 or higher?

I pushed to 1600 in XTOL 1+1. Results are very contrasty, but printable. No shadow detail to brag about...

Ahh ... 1600 would be nice, I'm going to try this ... For $2 a roll, this wouoldn't be bad.
