What does everyone use Bullseye in?

[Melnibonean]

Just got 2 lbs as a present and am trying to figure out where I should use it. I load for 9mm, .40, .45, 10mm, .38 and .357 and it seems to be more geared towards .45 and .38 special. What's your experiences been with it?

 

[Spawn-Inc]

2.5-2.8gr in 38spl with a 148gr hbwc is all I use Bullseye for, then again if I had access to it for a good price I would use it for other stuff.

 

[Easy 9mm]

This is pretty much the only powder i use for 9mm at the moment. Meters very consistently in my 550b and runs great in all my 9's. I reload 45 as well, but I run different powder for that.

 

[Busta Capp]

.38 Special and 9mm, works like a charm

38 Special 2.8 gr WC and 45 ACP work great for me.

I use it for my 750 fps cast plinking loads for my 44 mag rifles.

 

[Magellann]

Use it on Ribs and chops all the time.

Very small pistol catridges and mild, reduced loads for larger pistol cartridges.

For light loads you can pretty much use it in any regular handgun cartridge (38, 40, 45, etc.). There might be better choices for specific calibres but for versatility it's hard to beat. A bonus with Bullseye is that unlike many of the versatile flake powders (Unique, Red Dot, Clays, etc.) it meters much better. 2.8 gr. of Bullseye over a 148 gr. wadcutter is still one of the classic target loads of all time.

38 Special 2.8 gr WC and 45 ACP work great for me.

What bullet and load do you use for 45 ACP ?

 

[jethunter]

Target loads in 38 spl, 45acp.

I find Unique is much more versatile in the cartridges I reload, but Bullseye definitely has it's place.

 

[Mark-II]

.38 special. Would probably use it in more, but I've not found any in over a year. I'm on Titegroup for everything else now.

 

[mudgunner49]

.38 Special, .45ACP and a bunch of small case-capacity rifles for "cat-sneeze" loads.

 

[Brutus]

What bullet and load do you use for 45 ACP ?

Boy, looks like I really need to carefully read the OPs question again.

Thought he meant which cartridge do 'we' choose for bullseye pistol shooting, versus the actual powder.

Doh!............lol

 

[coldestcanuck]

4.2 under a 200gr lswc 45

 

[X-man]

.45 ACP + Bullseye = magic
