Im fairly new to developing my own film. I have a few hundred rolls of various c-41 film and have been experimenting with developing them in HC110. Just curious if anyone else does this and if your satisfied with the results. Please feel free to show your examples!

These look good to me. What dilution are you using?

I just tried it!
I just tried it!
Desperate to use my Nikon F2 that I acquired about a month ago, as I am waiting for my SS check so I can buy some more BW film,
I found a roll of Kodak Ultramax 400... Since I won't pay even the $2.99 to get it developed at a local store,
I decided to try cross processing in BW developer, I googled it and found this very useful blog http://darkshape.blogspot.com/2011/12/49-guide-to-developing-c-41-films-in-b.html
The 4 main main points that lead to success according to the blog I linked....
*HC110 B or D76 straight or 1:1 are good developers to use
*ISO of the color film does not matter for cross processing (as C41)
*Develop using HP5+ 400 times (can add 5-10% if wanted)
*Over Expose the Color film for better results (I tried 1 stop over)
Scanning was good, except for a few really dark negatives (there are dark anyway, the orange mask doesn't help)
I did scan as 16bit BW though with my V700, Maybe I should scan as a color negative?
A few negatives the scanner could not find the edges, so it scanned dead center between 2 negatives.. (I use the Epson holders because they are coded to auto scan batch negatives to detect the film frames).

I have used Ilford LC-29 (similar to HC-110) at a stronger than usual dilution of 1+9 for a time of 5 minutes at 20 degrees C. Works well and is quick.
