Im running with the bulls.

Bulls eye that is. Im loading a batch of ammo. I started with 357's. 158 grain hollow points. With 6 grains of bulls eye. Then i did 10mm 180 grain cast same load. And 38 super 125 grain cast with 5 grains. I have 38's to do yet. 158 grain cast with 3.5 grains of bulls eye. This wasn't intended. Just worked out that way as i looked up data. The 38's is my pet load.

Looks like you are well on your way to a great afternoon of shooting .

I am saving my few remaining pounds of Bullseye for .38 Wadcutter loads, I have no idea when (or if) I will ever see Alliant powder on the shelves again.

Let us know how your loads shoot for you when you get back out to the range.

Stay safe.

Alliant powders are widely available just not each one, everywhere, all the time. We just have to adapt to the present normal.

I can find BE-86 and recently came across Blue Dot which I hadn't seen since before the scamdemic!

BE-86 has been most consistently available over past many months. Does that mean it’s just not popular? I don’t know but Alliant pistol powder availability seems to run in cycles. Bullseye was available a couple months ago while others were not. Now it’s vapor but Sport Pistol and others are around. Soon it’ll be back.

I bought 12 lbs of bull eye when the panic just got started. Im into the 8lb jug now. The 4lb one i finished nov-dec.

Alliant runs powder in batches, much like everyone else. A batch of powder A, a batch of powder 2, a batch of powder X.

When it's gone, it's gone until the next batch (many tons) is run.

Don't forget: the recipe doesn't always come out the same. Like aiming for H335 and coming out with BLC2; it doesn't always work out the way they want.

That makes sense then why only groups are available for a while then a different group.

That’s a lot of shooting.
