Bullseye

[karnaaj]

Is Bullseye a decent powder in .44 and .357/.38spl? I see recipes for it in the manuals. I have 8lbs I need to find a use for. Thanks

Bullseye is he go to powder for target loads in 38 special with 148 wadcutters. A little goes a long way though. Eight pounds will load a gang of 38's.

Bullseye can be used for making light target loads in 38 and 44 Special. It also can be used to duplicate special level loads in magnum cases. It is one of the fastest pistol powders and is also the oldest one still in production. It is pretty dirty compared to newer powders but it sure is accurate. They don't call it Bullseye for nothing.

Try the classic .38 Special "NRA Bullseye Load" - 2.7 gr of Bullseye under a 148 gr Speer HBWC. Very accurate and minimal recoil.

One of "the" powders for 38 special not so much for 44 mag and 357 mag as it is to fast burning.

You want slower powders for those to reach full potential. Yes there is data for those but there are better powders.

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking at the Missouri bullet company site and they have 148 Grain DEWC-BB bullets. I'm new to cast bullets, would these be a good choice?

Missouri bullets are good to go in my opinion. Those 148s are great out of all my 38 and 357 revolvers. Bullseye is also very good for 45 acp cast loads.

The target pistol powder of which all others have been judged by for literally 100 years........I think I'd consider it a decent powder.

I use bullseye for my lead 357 loads.
