Hey all!! So kinda stepped away from reloading the last number of years. My shooting buddy and I used to reload a lot of calibers but would reload 9mm the most for sure. We used lots of different powders but Bullseye was our go to for 9mm a lot of the time, probably for availability and price for whatever reason. Anyway that was oh sheesh probably 7 years ago. Just recently getting back into it but couldn't seem to come across Bullseye!? Just checking the local places anyway. Ended up grabbing some other powders Titegroup / Win 231 etc that we've used before. So at any rate is Bullseye even a thing any more!? As well any recommendations for 9mm powder?? Just for standard range use and plinking, nothing special.... thanks in advance!! Happy shooting !
 
Bullseye is very fast. Good for making match and plinking ammo, but won't get max velocity with it. TiteGroup is similar. 231/HP38 is a medium speed and more versatile powder.

Any of the 3 will make good ammo for your needs.
 
Ok thanks for the replies! I just picked up all our reloading gear from my buddy and excited to get it set up again! Man we had a lot of stuff! I kinda forgot how much we had, we had a good setup.
If anyone wants to share a good 9mm load for the Winny 231 powder I'm all ears!! I haven't used it before . The Titegroup we used quite a bit in retrospect, in the reload stuff I found all our old powder logs etc for grains and bullet weights of all our loads we did..... thanks again all!
 
Minor loads for W231/HP-38

*3.6gr(ish) under a 147gr CamPro
4.2gr(ish) under a 124gr CamPro

*Above book max but that's pretty common with W231/HP-38. As always, work you way up safely and check velocity with a chrono.

Those are exactly my loads but substitute for Berry bullets. My Bullseye load is 4.0 grains under a 124 gr bullet. Power factor for me is 130-131 on all loads. As stated, start low and adjust accordingly because YMMV.

I have burnt more 231/hp38 than I care to speak of. It is my go to powder for all non magnum pistol rounds. I have ran maybe 16lbs of bullseye in 9mm, 40 and 45. It is a pretty decent powder but I got better numbers and results from 231. My OAL for 9mm is 1.124 regardless of pistol or projectile (within the same bullet weight). It is an OAL that has worked perfectly in 10+ 9mm pistols and carbines with great results.
