Thinking about Plus-X

I was given a Watson bulk loader and it seems like the most cheaply made thing on the planet. How well do these work? Shoud I buy a diffrent one?

I an unimpresed with the watson I got from e-bay, it is flimsy compared to my Alden 200. The only aldens I see are the alden 74, and I have no idea if they are like the 200.

If you can find one I would get a 200.

I love PX125 for me it is a toss between this and Acros100 but I think the edge goes to plus-X Here is a shot I took the other day with plus-X and my RB67.

Mabey one reason I really like the shots I've seen from Asta 100 is because it is the same as 125PX???

They last forever, though. If you don't like it, just start loading in the dark without a bulk loader.

I'm thinking along the lines of Steve's post...I get (Fred Picker testing method) full speed from tri-x in 510 pyro and HC110 (as a side, I only get 200 from HP5). I also shot it at box speed many years ago in D76, but did not test for speed at that time.

If I were going to try Plus-x, I'd start at box speed, if I didn't want to take the time to test.
